I know Vancouver wanted Zadina at the draft so how about we fulfill their missed wish and give em Zadina for Hughes straight up? Or to sweeten the pot we throw in Andrew Copp and Ben Chiarot?? Sounds good to me😃
Trade him the NJ where he’d actually win something
It's Hughes' second multi goal game. I believe one of the Johns pointed that out on Sportsnet.
Best ever? Hold on there, cotton. He's more like Phil Housley at this point.
I don´t think Hughes should win the Norris this year, but maybe he´s in the top 5? I think EK65 should win. Karlsson has 69 even strength points this season, Hughes has 39 for comparison. Despite what people – who only look at Karlsson´s plus/minus and watch videos on some not so good defensive plays from him that people just love to post – say, he´s NOT bad defensively. But if we just look at the plus/minus, it´s safe to say that a player on a worse team, with a worse team plus/minus probably will have a worse individual plus/minus as well. You could argue that a minus 16 on a bad team with a very bad team plus/minus is better than having a plus 46 on a stud team with a great team plus/minus. For example; if you look at the team plus/minus and compare the player´s individual plus/minus based on that the player plays a third (20 min) of the game in five on five the adjusted plus/minus looks like this:
Player Team +/- Team +/- /3 Player +/- Adjusted
Dunn 9 3 25 22
Hronek* -26 -9 9** 18
Toews 44 15 30 15
Hughes -18 -6 18 12
Dahlin -10 -3 7 10
Karlsson -74 -25 -16 9
Fox 53 18 27 9
Josi -11 -4 5 9
Lindholm 117 39 46 7
Makar 44 15 20** 5
Hamilton 51 17 21 4
Morrisey 9 3 -4 -7
McAvoy 117 39 31 -8
DeAngelo*** -40 -13 -22 -9
Heiskanen 50 17 7 -10
*) Detroit games only
**) Adjusted numbers due to players missing a lot of games.
***) DeAngelo is on this list just for reference, being known as being very bad defensively
Of course, these numbers in the list above does not take into consideration how a player is used, for example ratio of defensive vs offensive starts etc.
But it paints a better picture of a player´s plus/minus when you consider the team he plays on.
2 goals last night 2 good
I throw up every time i hear bedard. work with what you've got. hughes is my favorite player. I check his stats every day but losing on behalf of some pick then go ahead.
I don't want to get overly optimistic…… Because I did this last season ……. The second half of the season Canucks look like legitimate contenders next season! Even when on a bad game like last night against the blues we walk out with a point being down v.s. only a point being up muli goals
Offensively, yes. He’s the best offensive defenseman in Canucks history, not that that’s a high bar. Jeff Brown is probably the closest and he’s a ways away. He’s very underrated defensively, but I wouldn’t call him an excellent 2 way guy yet. He’s better than Karlsson. The problem is the lack of shut down defensemen. Who do you put out against the other team’s top line? A sub-5’10 defenseman? Or a giraffe who can’t skate backwards?
Saturday February 1st 2020, against the Islanders Hughes had 2 goals. He had the overtime winner.
He has more points than Makar!? That says a lot.
They’re not a playoff team, what do you mean stay competitive? An awful lot of garbage time production for the 2nd straight year. When the games matter these guys aren’t really competitive
lmao Karlsson is winning it this year
