To illustrate the age gap between Luke last year and Edvinsson this year.He's been quite a bit better this year, but the -25 despite sheltered minutes last year had concrete reasons behind it. If you look at shot attempts against with him on the ice you'll see that a completely exceptional number were high-danger chances and often because of his own turnovers. I'm all for being patient with young players and allowing mistakes, but we're talking 1st overall here.
Simon Edvinsson is 21 years and 10 months old.
At this time last year Luke Hughes was 20 years and 3 months old.
That is a 19 month age gap.
For comparison, the age gap between Edvinsson and Jack Hughes (23 years 7 months) is 21 months.
Luke Hughes was better than Edvinsson 2 years ago
Luke Hughes was better than Edvinsson last year
Luke Hughes is better than Edvinsson now.
And he's 7 months younger than him. Edvinsson taking longer to crack the show is not a point in his favour
