I was just trying to have an actual discussion with someone about a draft prospect, and you saw an opportunity to make a dumb little joke. I know it’s your thing here. But yes, talking about how bad Jack Hughes sucks is absolutely your right (and it’s riveting stuff too!). It wasn’t a joke, as explained. It’s not surprising that you don’t understand. You made a comparison to a guy who had barely played and when he did, didn’t contribute. Same thing has been going on here for years, Josefson was great, Zacha was the best player on the ice, etc. You say Jack does things that only McDavid can do, because he’s an elite skater on the same level. That’s like me saying I can boil water as well as a Michelin Star chef can. It’s what you do with the water that counts. It’s a perfectly valid opinion, you just get annoyed when someone disagrees with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re just choosing to be obtuse and obnoxious about the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re just choosing to be obtuse and obnoxious about the whole thing. You did. You said his skating is on par with McDavid and few people not named McDavid can enter the zone like he does. I merely pointed out the obvious night and day difference between the two, even if you compare them as 18 year olds. There's nothing obnoxious about it.

Nicomo Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Also, are you seriously going to keep bringing up Josefson wrt Jack? He had 64 points in 315 GP. It’s ridiculous. Jack may never live up to his pre-draft hype, but he’s absolutely going to be a good NHL player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re confusing two different posts I made. Never mentioned McDavid wrt Jack’s zone entries (I compared him to the other Devils). And I never said Jack can do things only McDavid can do. Just that McDavid is one of the only guys who skates better. 19 hours ago, Nicomo said: Lack of points is one thing, but his skating was on full display all season. He had a bunch of zone entries not a single other player on the team could have made. 18 hours ago, Nicomo said: Those guys skating was never anywhere near as good as Jack’s. His edge work is as good as it gets. The list of players who are better skaters that are not named Connor McDavid is pretty short. As to your second point? Why do you feel the need to sh!t on the kid so badly? He has one area of his game that’s already elite, and that’s literally the only reason I mentioned him when talking about another player’s skating. And in runs mfitz with “ExPeCTeD GoALs!!!” and “LeD To NoTHinG!!!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) that`s awesome. Quenneville trying to lead the game, forcing opponents to take the initiative.

That's actually even more ridiculous of a statement than I attributed to you. Sorry I was confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadana Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 When i look at Barkov i think more an more who is a better second(if we will have a chance for) pick for us? Quinn or Lundell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he understand where from legs are growing. But Lundell is so athletic and all around player. Analogy with Barkov all the time for me. And Lundell was in top 5 in mocks and get down only after point explosions from other players who didnt play in adult leagues. In General, I have not decided for myself. I'm a big Quinn fan initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was only my wish. Comparisons may be different, who will be better and who will be better for us - that is a question. Two questions.

Well Bob has Rossi at 7 so I’d be just fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
