According to Megan Chayka and her stats, which is incredible.

Like take a minute to think about that.

Like this man, he's not only on the ice doing things and creating, but the amount of time he has the puck during his elongated shifts.

I mean, it's absolutely freaking incredible.

And Quinn Hughes recognizes it too, because again, I will always call him Quinn Hughes, not just Hughes, not just Quinn, it's Quinn Hughes.

I believe he told Gorgie and Audra Martin either Thursday or Saturday, you know, I've never had as many grade A opportunities in my entire life that I do for the Minnesota Wild.

So he's respecting what they're bringing him.

But my God, he's just so freaking good.

Like the respect he's demanding people have for the Minnesota Wild now is a new level.

He he's very in the, like he's nonchalant off the ice as effortlessly as he is on the ice.

Right.

Like, I think I brought that up to John Hines too.

And, and it's funny because even in speaking and visiting locker rooms, right.

With different guys like Matthew could Chuck who their family is very close with the Hughes's and obviously their team USA, uh, teammates, um,

And Kachuk is like, he's just this whole other level of a player.

He's like, it sucks for me when I'm a right wing and he is a left-sided defenseman because I'm going against him.

And he's like, he is just so effortless in his zone entries and his edge work and his skating.

And it's just like.

it's magical to watch.

And again, the respect that other teams now have for the Minnesota wild, I think it was building in November prior to Quinn Hughes, like opposite coaches would be like, you know, that's a really good team over there.
