Nicomo Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 The whole size obsession is really quite silly. It’s 2020 ffs. Jack’s brother Quinn might win the Calder this year, and he’s the exact same size (actually Jack might be a hair taller). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I mean even if Hughes doesn't end up being the best player in this draft? What the hell were we supposed to do? He was projected to be the best player and we picked him. All scouts were all agreeing and everyone here agreed too. Remember how the few suggesting that Kakko miiiiight be a better pick here were shut down right away?! lol Like it was preposterous to even consider anyone else but Hughes. And the reasoning behind picking Kakko were actually not terrible, it made sense. Imagine for a second if we would have went off the board and pick Dach? lol Who someone here recently said will be a better player than Jack. I mean come on. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's neither of these things I think you need to step back and maybe take a break from the team for a while. Because this doesn't seem to bring you an ounce of enjoyment right now. And this is supposed to be fun. If you can't find anything to enjoy or be positive about maybe skip the rest of the season and come back after the draft.

Satans Hockey Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) I was at the game and was surprised at how many people were there. MSG had a sold out Allman Brothers show as well which I find even more interesting since they have an older fan base. People really don't seem too concerned so far. https://www.nj.com/devils/2020/03/nj-coronavirus-update-why-devils-fans-continue-to-attend-games-despite-outbreak-concerns.html Edited March 11, 2020 by Satans Hockey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they'd get the same version of him that we've been treated to. BUT, somehow they'd manage to flip him somewhere else and not only get that team to take on the rest of PK's full salary, but even get some piece back that ends up working out entirely too well for them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Jack Hughes is having the worst season for a number 1 overall pick in 20 years and that’s with getting more of an opportunity to succeed because the team has no offensive talent to speak of that is taking opportunities away from him. He’s fast, but he’s invisible 95 percent of the time, except when he’s turning the puck over. If you’re gonna have as slight a frame as he’ll always have, you have to really think two steps ahead, which he has shown no ability to do when he’s not playing against other teenagers. It took everyone here forever to recognize John Hynes’ incompetence, that Adam Larsson being overrated was not Pete DeBoer’s fault, and that Pavel Zacha was never going to be a good NHL player. Trade him for Jack Eichel while we can. Edited March 11, 2020 by Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gillis is probably going to be the next GM so it'll be a real viking funeral, but at least the Devils will have the most efficient hotel booking system in the league because that's definitely what helps you win games in analytics land.

Daniel Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 1 minute ago, MB3 said: Hughes was the youngest player ever for the United States team at the Worlds and was playing on a team full of top flight NHL talent and is holding his own just fine, as contrasted with Eichel and Matthews who got top line minutes playing with, at best, average pros. As a 17 year old Hughes excelled against college players, many of whom are older than 22. He could have entered the NHL 18 months ago and he'd probably be one of the twenty fastest skaters in the league. The only source of this ridiculous concept that Hughes is not going to be a good player I can think of would be David Conte or Connor Chatham. Mirco Mueller played well at the Worlds too. The source of me saying that he's not going to be a good player is just what I said. Putting on ten more pounds of muscle is not going to matter because it won't make it difference when you are consistently handing the puck over to the other team on a 2 man advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Out of all the things to get upset about this miserable season I just can't get worked up about an 18 year old who still looks like a little kid. How many posts has he hit this season? How many fantastic passes that were wasted because his linemates couldn't do anything with them when some should have been easy goals? He's shown plenty of glimpses of talent. Deciding to give up on him this soon is such a ridiculous reaction that it's really not even worth discussing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He need time. He isnt invisible 95% because he is very visible. He is often make mistakes - yes. Because he try to translate his skills. PZ is a good 3rd line center now and statistic from all nhl 3rd line players show that. i dont understand what you are really do. i dont think that you are ranger fan or passive devils hater. May be you have some real life problems and try to translate the fault of them to wet lips boy who cant answer on overpriced expectations.

One on the breakaway off the PK last game, in fact.I felt awful for him, as much as I think he'll be fine, he really needs something to go right for him right now. I suppose the team is doing well and that's all that matters, etc., but it would be good for Jack to have a good night right about now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i can be frustrating and annoying too at times with some of my opinions that aren't popular or doesn't align with others but it's always about something systematic or based on values. I don't take any pleasure at frustrating people with it. But i know i'm also bringing positive sh!t outside of that. He's just negative to be negative and it's draining when it's already hard to keep positive about the team being frustrating.
