Evan Bouchard or Quinn Hughes? That is the question! In this video I've give my thoughts on who I would rather have to start a franchise. The answer is fairly obvious, but the more you look at the numbers, the more your mind could change!
Had a lot of fun with this one guys. Please show your support, would absolutely mean the world. It's been a grind lately and I've kind of just been burnt out, so I do apologize for that! But keep liking and subscribing as it really does go along way, and drop a comment as I read every single one! Thanks for everything guys! See you in the next and as always don't be Average, when you can be AboveAverage!
Let's see what Bouchard does away from 2 of the top point producing players. This isn't even a real debate in my opinion
Hughes is better right now, but Bouchard will be better than Hughes
Lol punish him because he has better players? Can't have it both ways Cafuck fans, you try and say the Canucks are a better team, so wouldn't that mean they have better players? And bouch smoked Hughes in playoffz
@@PastaRobot19 If he does it's because of mcdavo and drai
This channel is a joke! Some dust producer thinks he knows hockey.
Quinn Hughes is better and is the best player on his team.
If he played with McDavid and Draisaitl, he’s probably putting up 120 pts a season.
Its an interesting debate, Bouche is great, but he played almost exclusively in a five man unit with Mcdavids line in the playoffs. It's hard to evaluate his true value when you have a guy that warps gravity on the ice.
lol from a guy from edmonton and an oiler fan
If the Canucks traded Hughes for Bouchard, the Oilers would be bragging about how the fleeced the Canucks, and the Canucks would be immediately ridiculed by the entire hockey world.
Just because Hughes didn’t score a thousand points doesn’t mean he didn’t show up. He was still pretty dynamic at driving the play.
but it dosent show
@@frenchbellow2 in what metric?
@@reeddixon5758 bouchard is better for the playoffs which is more important
@@frenchbellow2 It does take a lot of skill to be on the power play with McDavid and then suck in your own end.
@@reeddixon5758 really do you even watch oiler games
Match Hughes with McDavid...then compare
Evan Bouchard's numbers are vastly inflated by quarterbacking McDavid's power play unit. Quinn Hughes is the better player, no competition.
Also it's unfair to judge Hughes' playoffs when the Canucks had not been to the playoffs in a while whereas Bouchard has tons of experience.
Bouch has 20 more playoffs games under his belt... But Quinn Hughes has 100 more regular season games under his belt. So technically Hughes has more experience.
@@aboveaverage5979 Playoffs is a different beast than the regular season, mate. Teams really turn up the heat there. So no. Bouchard still has more playoffs experience.
Would we have this conversation if Hughes were playing with McDavid and Draisaitl? No. The Canucks had no second line last season. We'll see how the Oilers can handle Peterson's line now that he has a supporting cast. Expect JT Miller's line to produce in a big way as well with Boeser in a contract year. Watch the Canucks bottom six to wear out and produce offense which will free up their top 6. I don't think the defense or goaltending would be an issue as well if the forwards are doing their job in banging teams down and keeping their opponents on the other end of the ice with scoring chances. That being said, the team that stays healthy will be more productive in the playoffs. Expect to see the smart teams on top to have an early push the start of this season. If the Oilers needed a game 7 to pass the Canucks of last year, yeah...I don't think that would ever happen this time around. Stay healthy my friends.
Hughes is the better one imo, not that Bouchard is bad in the slightest but playing on that Oilers PP numbers are bound to be inflated a little.
This is correct.
Hol up
Hughs getting 10 points in 13 games is not showing up? That is still fantastic production for a d-man
Plus you have to realize that everyone is taking less chances without demko, even if silovs was solid
Watch game 5 of the canucks oilers series quin would never bobble the puck in front of his own net leading to a game tieing goal
Bouch also had 2 gwg in the series... Hughes had 0...
Bouchard benefits HUGE from his line mates. Quinn would smoke Bouchards numbers if he was on the ice with McDavid & Draisaitl.
Your bias (albeit slight) is showing (on your walls 😜).
I love Bouchard and the oilers and I think that he might be more built for playoff hockey than Hughes. I think it's Draisaitl who goes from a beast in the regular season to an insane animal in the playoffs in terms of production. Not to mention, I don't know how much playoff experience Hughes and Pettersson have, especially compared to the oilers
I compare these two to some older hockey players. Quinn reminds me of Erik Karlsson, while Evan reminds me of Brian Leech. Who would you rather have on your team, Karlsson or Leech? Either way, it is hard to go wrong!
Not even the same type of Dman, Quinn gets pushed off the puck by a 12 year old kid, doesn't defend for shit. Bouch has some position lapses but can also shoot the puck through a goalies stomach. I guess it's just a biased opinion like most on this thread anyway.
well maybe a person who thinks points are what makes the best player he's better but how many times did players blow by him to get a grade A chance how many times were they pinned in their end because he couldnt get the puck out . Theres more to being the better player then points
Bouchard is the most overrated player in the league
Defensive play is so, so, so important. And when you have a team that is so offensive (Oilers), someone like Hughes would be better. You need a balanced team. And I don't think there are enough defensive defenseman out there to fill the holes.
And Hughes is breaking ankles all of the place.
It’s so funny hearing everyone saying “lets see how good he is away from McDavid” or “If Bouchard didn’t have McDavid, Bouchard will be an AHL player”. I think I’ve heard the exact same thing with Leon and Hyman. So from these stupid logics, without McDavid, Leon is a 70 point player, Hyman is a top 9 player and Bouchard is an AHL guy. Makes me laugh how delusional people can be and don’t realize all these guys are top end players without McDavid. Sure McDavid obviously helps but insanely delusional comments. I guess with that logic Paul Coffey isn’t one of the best d man of all time because he played with Wayne, Kurri and Messier???
Stylistically Bouchard fits with McDavid better than Hughes would with McDavid. Hughes drives play but that would be less beneficial with McDavid who doesn’t need that in a defensemen as he’s the best in the world at it.
Good comment. I agree.
Who won the norris?
If you took a d for the playoffs you would have to have a team to get to the playoffs...otherwise it's senseless...
now as a canucks fan i gotta say something, i didnt hear in the video that you have to take into account is the playoff experience between the 2 (i would think playoff experience is important for a small guy who can get hit easily so he knows how to handle it) and the players surrounding them. this was Quinn Hughes first time being in a non pandemic playoffs environment and Bouchard has been i believe 3 times, you can let me know if I'm wrong. and as i said before the players surrounding them, my assumption would be is if Quinn Hughes had Draisaitl and Mcdavid to play with him he could put up similar points probably a little less. Quinn Hughes had a injured Petterson who couldn't perform and jt miller. i would bet that when Hughes gets more playoffs experience he will outperform Bouchard, though Bouchard is also going to get better with time. (ok just looked it up and Bouchards first time in the playoffs actually had very similar numbers to Hughes) now i know people will hate and say that im wrong, im biased, or even playoff experience isn't that important and whatever someone's brain may conjure up. im not trying to be biased just trying to say my piece and my thoughts on the matter. good day to you all. this comment is way to long but there is no turning back now lol.
As an oilers fan I’d take Hughes every day and it’s not even a question
Agreed!
Hughes props his team up, bouchard is propped up. If you watched both of them play last season its not even close
2 game winning goals from Bouch against the Canucks in the playoffs vs 0 goals from Hughes...
@@aboveaverage5979 That is true yet Hughes still has a huge gap on him. Not to mention Hughe's insane TOI. You give any team the option to take hughes or bouch 100% are taking hughes
Hughes is for now, but 2 or 3 years frome now, I'll probably be sold on Bouchard.
They're the same age...
@matthewjudge3763 hugse made a name for himself earlier. It'll take a year or 2 to cache up.
Evan Bouchard is better, only canCUCk fans would think otherwise. Go Oilers!
Don't know about this ahah.
If Bouchard was playing with the Blackhawks offensive core he’d be in the AHL
😂 trust me so would Quinn
You are smoking rope pr something! Put Quinn Hughes on that Oilers blue line on that PP unit and your logic of who's better goes up in same smoke!
Bouch is more clutch
It’s safe to say Quinn Hughes is overrated and a massage fraud. Id take a guy like Bouchard 10/10 times if I were constructing a competitive roster
🤡
@@brotheryodabrain damage he has
I hate people who pretend to be good at giving massages
To be totally fair.....Bouchard has to repeat his points before you can have this conversation and learning a little bit about defense couldn't hurt either.....he's brutal!
