Do all 3 Hughes brothers go 1st overall in their respective re-drafts?

[Realgud]

Look at them now. Not sure there is a single case for taking Dahlin ahead of Hughes. Luke Hughes looks like he can take the top spot, but seems a bit early to anoint as I thought Johnston would take it based on last year, so the jury is still out.

Dahlin would be with Quinn, not Luke. I said Johnson for 2021, not Johnston. I might have misunderstood your post, feel free to correct me.

I think Dahlin over Hughes is most definitely controversial and I say that as someone who thinks Hughes is the best dman in the league. I just think that someone with Dahlin's size, talent, pre-draft pedigree and playing in freaking Buffalo, there is still a LOT of potential with him. Dahlin can still be the best in the league imo, so that's why he could still be "drafted" first. Just my opinion.

Still can't believe Quinn fell in our lap, even Jim couldn't screw that one up.

I love Vlasic, but it seems crazy to put him as a contender for best player from the 2019 draft. Though I guess it's just as crazy about how bad that draft ended up.

Regarding the question at hand, both of the older Hughes' brothers have cemented themselves as best in their respective drafts. Luke has a chance, but it's too early to say with any confidence he's better than some of the other names on that list. And Owen Power has a chance to take back that #1 spot; defenders his size can take awhile before they make an impact in the NHL.

Luke is good but not 1st oa material imo.

The only 1 that 100% goes 1st is the one that already did,
Quinn probably should too. But it's going to be a toss up between Dahlin and Him for most (imo I'd take Quinn)
Luke, Nah (at least not currently)

 

[ColbyChaos]

Did you really put Vlasic as a contended for #1? lol

Luke is the only one thats questionable.
I was vocal that I would have taken Luke at #1 if the Ducks wont the lottery, and I still feel the same.

He wouldn’t go number one but the list of people I’d take over Vlasic at this point in 2019 is not very big. Dude is one of the best defenders already

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Yes but it’s too early for Luke. Very possible he’s not the best player from that class.

But also given the facts of today, I’d take him 1OA.

 

[tabness]

I still believe Dahlin will put it together and be the second best D of his generation after ASP just a shade above Makar and ofc Hughes

Luke is now leading the league in xGF% amongst defensemen.

It’s still early, and he’s not getting the toughest minutes on the team, but the track record of guys his age with high level 2 way metrics almost always leads to an elite player.

I for one am truly shocked that the biggest, fastest Hughes brother is also good at hockey.

I wonder if Jack and Quinn were as good as they are now when he was drafted if it would have affected where he was picked.

 

[Fear]

At this point yes. Quinn and Jack I'm pretty confident it will stay that way, 2021 no player has yet established themselves as a franchise star but he has a good a shot as any

That year was peak "jack is a bust" and "quinn can't defend" talks lmao.

This is a really good point - Quinn was coming off a lackluster sophomore year compared to his impressive rookie season, and Jack was still a teenager center struggling to pile up the big points.

Considering how Luke is almost a full year younger than Power, if teams had known the extent to which the Hughes brothers were late bloomers, Luke may very well have gone 1st originally.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Vlasic being in conversation for #1 with Jack and Seider is wild lol.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Jack and Quinn are locks for sure. As for 2021, I’d narrowly take Johnston. But it’s super close and you can make an argument for Luke and or Power still.
