Yup. Hughes controls the game like only a small few before. Benning was a bad GM but he did draft Quinn and then sign him to a fantastic contract. 


Benning got lucky that Detroit shit the  bed and drafted Zadina first. So I really don’t give credit to Benning for drafting Hughes. Even Maggie the Monkey could have drafted Hughes. 
 

Giving Benning credit for drafting Hughes is the same as giving credit to the Edmonton GM for drafting McDavid. Also, we only had the ability to even draft Hughes because our team was so shitty in 2017. Not sure GM’s should be getting credit for drafting star players at the top of the draft when the only reason they can be drafted is because you were one of the worst teams in the NHL the year prior.

Benning passed over Tkatchuk for Juiolevi. Thank heavens Detroit was equally as inept. I’m sure the Sabres would like a do over from that draft. There’s a reason why the Sabres stink. And it’s Dahlin.

Really hard to believe the Penguins 5 places out of the wild card spot (despite them having 1 or 2 games in hand with the next 5 team ahead of the. ) yet they have +15 in Goal differential basically the same as the 1st place in their division (NYR)

The drama from TO will be Soap Opera intense if they lose tonight. 

I was disappointed they didn’t fire Queef and replace him with Boudreau today as I predicted.

Like I said, lots of season left, just under half a season

Clearly Hughes is the best of these two generational D this season. Really, no other D man (outside of these two) should be in the Norris conversation for the next decade.

Hard to say, Dobson could garner Norris votes himself 

 

All it takes is a larger injury to derail a Norris season, shit happens

Dobson isn’t in the same league eith Hughes and Makar. There just ain’t no one else.

I'd argue Heiskanen isn't too far behind when healthy, but he doesn't have a ton of help in Dallas

Horvat GWG in OT. Boy oh boy would he look good as our 2C. I know I know, no Hronek without him being moved. 

Go fish in another pond. We got Hronek for The Fat Wallet. Islanders will miss the playoffs. We have Hronek and will win the Cup! F - The Fat Wallet. And I’ll tell you that for free. Vancouver hater.
