Popular Post DevilMinder Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 I can't sit still!!! Seriously people step back and think about this, we went from hoping we had a top 5 pick to getting the number 1 overall. Don't dwell on Hughes/Kakko, rejoice in that we just got a major bump of talent in the pipeline! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) 10 minutes ago, BlueSkirt said: I like his pedigree: Hughes comes from a family of ice hockey athletes. His older brother, Quinn, was drafted 7th overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Vancouver Canucks. His younger brother Luke plays minor hockey for Little Caesars 15U AAA[1] and will play on the U.S. National Development U17 Team during the 2019–20 season.[14] Their father, Jim Hughes, is a former hockey player and team captain for Providence College, an assistant coach for the Boston Bruins, and the director of player development for the Toronto Maple Leafs.[15][16] His mother, Ellen, played ice hockey, lacrosse, and soccer at the University of New Hampshire and, in 2012, was inducted into the University of New Hampshire Athletics Hall of Fame.[16] She also played for the United States women's national ice hockey team, and won a silver medal at the 1992 World Championship. Quinn Hughes is the name of a kid who, if he didn’t play hockey, would never have made it to school with his lunch money.

I mean we just moved the rebuild up a couple years. Easily. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunes reversed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a second there I was thinking "motherfvcker, we really are going to drop all the way to 6th" When they got skipped, I was 100% sure the Rangers were getting #1. Once we got into the top 3, I knew it was going to be us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Holy sh!t guys, if we get Hischier or Hughes on the wing, we will have the Triple H line? Hall-Hischier-Hughes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno...he reminded me of Eli Manning the day the Chargers were about to draft him #1 overall.

This is so ridiculous and irrational, but I guarantee we all feel the exact same way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hudson River rivalry will never be the same. This adds a completely new dynamic to it with Hughes vs Kakko in the forefront 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Kane is 5’10 btw for everyone that’s worried about Hughes’ size. Hughes himself was talking about how he will get bigger and stronger when they were interviewing him before the drawing. Which is true. Look at the difference in Nico from year one to year two. I also love that he said he definitely wants to play center. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to add that I wasn’t saying I wouldn’t pick him based on his size, it was just an observation I was making. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
