“This is just a better team. Watching Vancouver, I love a lot of those guys, and it’s competitive guys over there who want to do well. It’s tough sometimes, and I’m sure it’s not where they want to be and where I wanted it to be when I was there.” Hughes said.
He later added, “Just how special the group is here and how easy they’ve made it for me The hockey’s been so fun. I said to someone a couple of days ago, I’m getting so many Grade A chances every night, getting looks all the time, and it’s fun to play with these guys, fun to play with Brock (Faber), and I think as this continues to be able to get better and better.”
