Hughes to me is the one really getting giant expectations placed on him, like at this point if he turned out to be a Tyson Barrie/Ryan Ellis player I think some people would be disappointed. - Nucker101
I would be thrilled if he could turn out too be a Ryan Ellis calibre player.đ |

Two of my faves. Ellis is pretty dam good, and quinn is a better skater than him already. That would be a guy to show him in terms of tape. He and spurgeon. |

I agree, but the player you describe doesn't sound like a 3M+ player and I'm afraid to think what he'll look like as he gets older - Nucker101
Benning is improving on his payment for 4th liners, Beagle makes half of what his linemate, Loui makes.đ |

Same, but man some media/fans are talking about him like he's going to be a 24-25 min a night type of player on a good team, conveniently overlooking his size/defensive ability.
But man it'll be nice to finally have an offensive dman back there |

It would be so much nicer to just have another couple of Motte type players on the 4th line instead and have that extra $7M to use elsewhere |

Thatâs fair. I think weâve all known heâs overpaid since the hop. Luckily itâs not for much term. Imo this batch of ufas was JBs best. |

The defensive ability does actually seem to be there though. The size certainly isnt. I kind of hope he goes the Subban route abd eats an entire cow over the summer |

Someone on here (wonât say who) mentioned they would be happy if Hughes turned out to be a âLidstrom type playerâ.
Happy? Lol. |

If he doesnât measure up as Bobby Orr, then he is a flat out bust, and Benning will be burned in effigy. |

His defense is actually really solid against the rush, but from what I've seen/read, he struggles once the opposing team establishes zone time/cycle.
Stecher has done a nice job this year defensively so Quinn could even learn a thing or 2 from his own undersized teammate.

Benning talked quite a bit, last season, about how hard it was to get a PP defenseman, that is all I am expecting from Hughes, if he exceeds those expectations, bonus. |

Huge mistake, and the fan boys are slurping it up. |

Zero expectations the next 2-3 years, if he earns a roster spot next year great. If not that's okay as well. |

this was my expectation with Pettersson last year. Tempering expectations and be pleasantly surprised rather than hope and expect the moon and be disgruntled ( the latter seems to be the norm for this fanbase) |

I find it fun to watch these kids find their way in the NHL, they need to keep the pressure of them and let them develop properly. |

Easier to forgive when the guy actually produces goals/points and is only in his 2nd year coming off of a serious injury.
dude definitely needs to work on his back checking though, I think he's been getting a bit better at it lately. - Nucker101
I believe Ray Ferraro said the other day that every player doesn't have to be a 200 ft monster. Boeser's scoring rate is good enough to not have to be the 200 ft monster like Sutter and Beagle. |

Barrie is 9th in scoring right now, Krug 12th, Spurgeon 16th, Ellis 26th.
Spurgeon is 16th in TOI, Ellis is 17th both 24 minutes a night. Barrie and Krug 62 and 66th at 21:30 respectively.
I honestly don't think anyone would be disappointed if he turned out to be like any of those players. |
