Canucks Select Quinn Hughes With 7th Overall 2018 NHL Entry Draft [NBCSN]

Canucks select dynamic defenceman Quinn Hughes with the 7th overall pick at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft in Dallas.

[@kae-yj5rv]

best decision the canucks franchise has ever made...hughes rly took the canucks to the playoffs in his first year being captain. absolute killer

[@KingOdin]

THE NEW CAPTAIN OF THE CANUCKS, LOVE TO SEE IT

[@MadDogMax123]

And now he has 44 points and is the second player in nhl history to have 4 three point games in his rookie year

[@nucks4life11]

Little did whe know that we were looking at the captain, the best dman in the league. Wow.

[@neostar63]

Captain of the Canucks, Norris from runner leading his team to the second round of playoffs for the first time since 2011

[@sillythygoose]

first time since 2020 you mean

[@dustinjames7572]

4th fastest defenseman to 20 points in a season in history. 20 points in 12 games!!!

[@josephlim8941]

Quinn Hughes best player in the 2018 NHL Draft.

[@bretthughes8679]

He really is. Much more dynamic than Dahlin who I think is outstanding. For me the fact Q has excelled playing 27 mins in close games being deployed against the competitions best puts him over the top IMO.

[@josephlim8941]

brett hughes Hopefully they’ll resign Tanev. They work really well together and Tanev doesn’t have to resort to blocking as many shots cause they control the play much better in their own zone and know where each other is at.

[@MC-bh3ff]

@@bretthughes8679 I’m skeptics of saying that someone is better than svech or dahlin but...... he’s making it hard

@Shelvin Maharaj Dahlin doing much better with new coach. Ralph Kreger only knows soccer.

Thank you to the 6 teams ahead of us for your picks

[@alexwinter3272]

Especially Detroit like wtf where they thinking lol

[@mattjames9866]

Dreger pays Jim Hughes the ultimate compliment at 5:15: Jim has been declared as A Hockey Man.

[@dsrevo79]

This age well,, now the league can see how you cant take away puck away from Quinn on zone entries and exits

[@hw6140]

Absolute steal top 5 skater already in the NHL right along side McDavid and Larkin possibly the best skating D-man . Will be an exciting team to watch that's for sure

[@flow9592]

100%

[@MrJjcatt]

It still feels to me like we finally got the best player in a draft,Dahlin is a great player,but Quinn leaves me speechless with his ability to get the puck out of his zone

[@dsrevo79]

insane ability on blueline moves with pressure coming..

[@flow9592]

finally? we got boeser for a steal, and petterson

[@dsrevo79]

ELIAS and HUGHES!!! DAMMMMMMNNNNN

[@UFC16]

Love how Holland screwed Detroit out of a #1 Dman and then dipped to Edmonton and selected a dman

[@nabatron21]

He looked like a stud lastnight

[@mr.porkchop6377]

Hell yeah he did

[@AStupidTourist]

Nabil.. 10 months later and your comment is still relevant . your comment will never get old . It will apply to almost every game of his career 🤣😎

[@bretthughes8679]

@@AStupidTourist During the season Canucks.com was torn on who to take and many wanted Zadina Adam, Evan or Dobson if we didn't land Rasmus. I posted Quinn was my pick even if we won the draft, I was ridiculed and got banned for telling a few posters to fuck off lol. Well I know it's early for a redraft but Quinn is not only deserving of the Calder, but his Rookie season also blows away either of Dahlin's two seasons and Q is only 6 months older. Could you imagine if we had taken Zadina, Evan or Dobson?? I still laugh at Bennings reaction when he realized Quinn was his. Even better since it came out that Benning had him top 3 and tried his best to get in the top 3 to select him since most thought either the Habs or Wings were going to take him.

[@dsrevo79]

and were cant get enough of him,,, he definitely look like Patrick Kane on the ice with better defensive responsibility of course!!

[@September2004]

Can you believe the Red Wings, Quinn's hometown team, had the pick right before this and skipped him? Same with Minnesota and Brock Boeser.

[@bradhuygens]

Yeah really. No one would have been mad at them for picking a local player projected to go at that spot, but in both cases they messed up big time

[@SMA2343]

Boeser was a steal at 23, IIRC the redraft had him at 3/4

[@alexwinter3272]

He was born in Florida so no Detroit isn't his hometown team. Also he spent almost 11 years in Toronto growing up.

[@September2004]

@@alexwinter3272 Oh, you’re right. He went to the University of Michigan.

[@thephillywarrior1101]

Hughes is awesome! Canucks are definitely a favorite for me in the west I’ve always liked them since the Sedins were there, I love the flyers as my first team in the East hopefully we can draft prospects that can stay in the pros

[@bretthughes8679]

Flyers kick ass, my Dad played with Clark in Flin Flon and have been my East coast team since I was a kid in the 80s. Plus you guys have by far the best Unis in any sport.

[@oscarthegrouch4574]

mojo this is the philly warrior guy this is my other account. What made me become a canucks fan for my favorite west team was the Sedins. They were just so magical to watch and it was amazing to see two brothers killing it in the NHL. I also like the Canucks logo I think it looks cool and I am a huge Jake Virtanen fan

[@oscarthegrouch4574]

brett hughes you think so? I’ve always liked the orange and black the Canucks uniforms are nice also

[@dsrevo79]

Still has time for Juolevi to blossom.... but we made up for our mistake here by picking Quinn.

[@bretthughes8679]

Joulevi gets a bad rap amomg many fans but he has had terrible luck with injuries but was great for the Comets before he tore his knee after breaking his back and is been healthy and very good this season.

From too small, cant shoot or defend to Dman points leader and potential 2024 Norris Trophy winner. Hey and maybe a Conn Smythe in 4-6 weeks.

Still can't believe he fell to us. Detroit made the right choice at the time but it's crazy to think he was lined up for them.

[@kinam1917]

Elias Petterson should've been 1st overall in his draft year and Jim benning got him at 5th. Quinn Hughes should've been 2nd overall in this draft and Jim Benning got him at 7. Great job JB is doing with drafting in Vancouver. Only if JB selected Matthew Tkchuck instead of Juolevi, Canucks wouldve had Boser, Tkchuck, Pettersson, and Huges 4 year in a row. Still Great though. If Jim benning ever gets fired, a rebuilding teams or a team looking to tear down should hire him right away. And another example is Boston. JB was the one in charge of drafting in Boston and look how they been looking for last 9-10 years

[@1Amiel1]

Can't out Juolevi yet he could be the new Sami Salo in Vancouver. But I know what you mean, if only we got Tkchuck...

[@katyevaw]

Haha! Delorme was mouthing "Quinn Hughes" as JB said it

Room for Improvement "Cutting Losses" what does that even mean?

[@dsrevo79]

im guessing turnovers

[@nobuddy2012]

I would have taken Wahlstrom. Go with the old 80's Oilers philosophy, "the best defense is a good offense".

[@nobuddy2012]

M Smith......Coffey was 6.0 and 200lbs. This guy is 5'9 and 165 lbs tops. I was that big in grade 8.

[@nobuddy2012]

M Smith.........Sorry, but he is no Paul Coffey. I watched Coffey live and it was a thing to behold as he would pick up speed skating backwards away from you, with the puck, then pivot and turn it up ice with all that built up speed. If he can be anything like a Keith or Niedermeyer that would be great, but Vancouver doesn't have a Scott Stevens or a Brent Seabrook. Gubransson isn't fast or mean enough, and no one else is big enough. Unless Jett Woo becomes that guy, we are screwed.

[@nobuddy2012]

M Smith....It hasn't changed that much. What is he going to do when Getzlaf, or Malkin, or Kopitar are standing in front of the net? Use his negotiation skills. When someone is even 3 or 4 inches shorter than you it is quite easy to stick out your ass and they can't do anything to get the puck. He is 4 to 6 inches shorter than a lot of these NHL centers. If he plays more than 100 games in the NHL I will be shocked. I always go back to what an old Junior A GM told me. "Junior B is for really big guys, or really fast guys. Junior A is for big fast guys". Multiply that by 10 for the NHL.

[@Daiven100]

No Buddy your logic is so hilariously flawed 😂😂😂

No Buddy he's 5'10 176... And a kid. I'd bet my left nut he grows another inch. 5'11 190lbs by the time he steps into the bigs.
