Can Jack Hughes become the second best player behind Connor McDavid?

[Offtheboard412]

Sure it definitely possible. He could even end up being the best player in the league depending on how McDavid ages and if Bedard doesn't reach his potential. He's only 22, McDavid/Draisaitl/MacKinnon are all 27+ this season and will likely start slowing down a bit within the next 3-4 years.

Quote me at the end of the year. I think it will end up:
McDavid 1A/1B
Matthews1B/1A
J. Hughes 1C

Fellow named Pastrnak?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

so in which season mcdavid passed crosby and ovechkin for you?

you don't have to answer here. just be honest to yourself.

Probably the season after he actually won some awards, something Hughes has yet to do.

 

[Kennedys]

2.5 points per game !!! Forget Mcdavid. He's Gretzky level !!.... lol

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Not as long as Makar, Pettersson, Draisaitl, Pasternak, Matthews and potentially his own brother are between them.

Yea, Jack Hughes has 13 pts in 5 games to start the season, but literally ALL of them are primary assists or goals.

Does Jack Hughes share enough? You'd think secondary points would be there

Is that hockey slang for points? Cuz if so, I agree, no cap.

Let's not get carried away with Luke just yet.

Need at least one more thread for MVP discussion.

Wrong thread, Go Jack Hughes

Damn, I knew I should've gotten a screenshot of that tweet when I first saw it.

What was it

 

[PWiz30]

What was it

I'll paraphrase. Some Rangers fan tweeted that what people don't get about Hughes vs Kakko is that they're different players. Hughes is a goalscorer. Kakko is more of a playmaker.

Edit: this was in the replies

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

I found the actual quote on Reddit.

I think what a lot of people don’t get about the Kakko/Hughes “comparison” is that they are two different players.

Hughes is a goal scorer. Kakko is a playmaker. And both are equally good at what they are on the ice to do

You'd hope a 1st overall pick has the potential, especially one who's known as a smart player. Will he get there? Who knows.

No they aren’t.

No they aren’t.

Yes they are.

Already there.

Already there.

That is false information just like the fact that he broke the record for most points in five . We all thought that at first. Go back and read the box scores. He got the secondary assist on Lukes goal against the islanders the other.
3 of his assists are secondary. I though the E same thing and was gonna post about it and realized they weren’t.

Wrong.

He was the primary assist on Luke’s goal.

Other 3 assist are secondary? What are you talking about?

Why lie about things that are easily verifiable?
