6th pick..

[Mitchrapp]

Just saw a quick glimpse not sure which team jumped us but we went from 5th to 6th.

Edit: it was Carolina.

Statistically it was the most likely scenario for Detroit with about 35% chance.

Still a good chance to pick up a good player.

Rasmussen will probably get a crack at the roster next season.

I think Holland will have a massive hardon for Hughes.

Basing this entirely on his Michigan fetish.

They do seem to have a bevy of players from Michigan.

I find it hilarious DK has bigger contract than Kronner in his prime.

Talk about hometown discount.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hughes just seems small to me.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Yes, but he plays in Michigan.

Size isn't everything.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Of course not but as a defensive player I'd like him a big bigger. Who would he compare with size wise in the NHL now?

NHL defenseman at 5'10 and under

Let me know if link works, if not I'll do a screenshot.

Damn what happened to Enstrom. He used to be a premier offensive Dman.

6 points in a contract year coming off a long term 5.75 mil deal. Likely he will sign as depth d-man for 1 mil somewhere.

That's nice to be able to put in height. Will he need to pick up some weight or is 176 fine? Thanks.

Edit: I see now that the list you posted has a weight and a few are lighter than Hughes.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

You should watch how these guys play. They typically won't be rought and tumble (minus Russel). Emphasis is on skating, skill, and positioning.

Hughes is still young. If his current weight is correct. He could be in mid 180s.


Never really looked into the weights of hockey players.


In Football generally players weights are height (in cm) -100 with a variance of +/- 2.5 kg.

So 178 - 100 = 78

Within the +/- 2.5 kg of his given weight of 79 kg.

Think for hockey it wouldn't be as set.

If you do select him and he's good he could be 5'0" 95 pounds (My weight as a freshman in HS) I'll take him. If interested I'm 6'5" 220. I guess I had some growth spurts.
