I don't fully remember the conversation, but I know they don't want him to play 10 games

He gains everything signing now but nothing playing more then 10. So they will play him what they want and he is that much closer to his big $$

oh that, yeah it'll force the canucks to protect him in the upcoming expansion if he plays 10 games. Not too worried though, cuz lolnucks got no game changing D to lose and Hughes still needs to heal his foot injury and the team only has 13 games left.

As long as Green plays Hughes over Pouliot, I couldn't care less. Although, Green might have an ulterior motive and play pouliot cos he's secretly on team tank for hughes.
I wont care if Hughes makes mistakes and costs goals, cos he'll make exciting plays and that's just his game style.
Pouliot however is trolling the fuck out of me, he's doing it on purpose. Like a professional player cannot be such a joke like him without it being intentional... Like yesterday for example, he literally touches the puck and gives it away for an ez goal 1min into the game

I do think it might burn a year of his entry contract as well

yup if he plays 9 games, it'll burn a year off his ELC just like Boeser and Petey. Won't matter tho, lolnucks aint contending anytime soon They need to srsly fix the DDDDDDDDDDDDDD and add another reliable winger or two imo.

They talked about that on hnic last night. Pre much have to do it with the gaudreaus the boesers of college hockey.

He'll play 9 to burn a year off his ELC

But he won't play the 10th to make sure we don't have to protect him in expansion.

apparently since he turned 20, even if he plays 1 game it'll burn his ELC. Anyways, Hughes will probably make it into top 10 EZ in terms of pts drafted by lolnucks D since 85


so sad ahaha

Sopel at fourth oh my.

a bit pedantic, but the list only counts scoring for the Canucks. obv missing tons of big names who significantly contributed to the franchise like Jovocop, Lumme, Salo...

still terrible though, means in 30 years the team had drafted 9 NHL-worthy defensemen who would then contribute.
