One guy was 18, the other was 20 with two years of proper development at far lower levels of hockey.

I’m sure it’s already been said, but what’s the point of comparison? They both play completely different games
He also said 8 ES points in 22 games "is not really a strong pace"...for a rookie."does not really produce much 5vrs5"
10 of his 12 points are even strength.... I mean, could you look any dumber?
Jack Hughes is the next Patrik Stefan. Actually he might be the 2nd "Next Patrik Stefan" the devil's have drafted because Nico Hischier is doing a pretty good Patrik Stefan impersonation himself, just not quite as good as Jack's. Poor Devils

.Totally unfair to Hughes. Not the same position and most importantly, not brpught in the same context. One is a rookie playing in a supporting role with many older and more established teammates. Furthermore, his team has less weaknesses in the defence and goaltending department
The other brought in from the get-go as the main if not one the main pieces of the organization.

Pinto was outscored by both his linemates in the NCAA, and scored 1 goal and 2 primary assists(one of which was just a faceoff win and an empty net shot by Zaitsev) in 12 games in the NHL regular season. Caufield has 1 secondary assist in his NHL career so far, everything else is primary, no empty net points. If you want to compare points you should use Stutzle instead. He had a pace of 8.3 non-PP points per 22 games, and one of his points was an empty netter, so 7.88 in 22 without it. I know at least 3 of his 5on5 assists were secondary.

Lol imagine comparing Hischier to Stefan. Shows how much you know. Hischier plays a complete game, it's not his fault his team sucks ass.Jack Hughes is the next Patrik Stefan. Actually he might be the 2nd "Next Patrik Stefan" the devil's have drafted because Nico Hischier is doing a pretty good Patrik Stefan impersonation himself, just not quite as good as Jack's. Poor Devils
What?!
A one of the youngest playmaking Center who instantly joined the nhl after the draft and played with bellow average linemates didn't get as many points as a Winger who had an extra year of development?
Shocking!
Why hasn't this been reported on TSN, ESPN, and Sportsnet!
Oh @GeorgeLeafer12 is Finnish, That explains the thread. How a group of Finnish posters can still be Salty that Hughes was picked over Kakko and that Kakko is a worse player then Hughes.

OMG
Kappo Kakko had 7 points in his first 20 games while Caufield had 12 points! I bet the Rangers really wish they picked Caufield!
I wonder if Kakko would even be picked in the 1st round in a redraft?

I mostly was comparing JH to Patrik Stefan, but Hischier has been pretty underwhelming for a 1st overall pick as well. His "complete game" sure doesn't seem to help the Devils all that much, considering he's 4 years into his NHL career. He's actually probably closer to Nugent-Hopkins. Still kind of disappointing, tbh.
I hope the people hyping Hughes and preaching patience in this thread, remember those words for Kotkaniemi too

I don’t know if he ends up the best forward from the draft but most scouting reports had Caufield as the best pure offensive talent /goalscorer in the draft. Only reason he fell to 15 is that NHL GMs are still dinosaurs and they’ll continue to let talents like Caufield/Debrincat/Point slide because they still believe you have to be 225 to be a good forward.

he never ever ever posts about Kakko. Obsessed with Hughes. Stupid garbage posts saying Cole should essentially be the number one pick if you read between the lines. May his stupid Garbage posts die like all the rest of His embarrassing posts. Never seen anyone post so much about Jack Hughes like this garbage poster. Strange obsession.
Devils fans are happy with Jack FYI.
Jack Hughes was always supposed to take 2-3 years before hitting his stride. Kakko was supposed to hit the ground running, but of course the poster won’t make any posts about that because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
FYI happy for Cole. Good for him!

I think his point is just rather he's happy Caufield fell...not that every player picked before him is worse.
Who are you talking about? I've barely ever posted about Hughes. Devil's aren't relevant enough to have haters. The posts you label as hate are likely just uncomfortable truths that your bias doesn't let you see as such.

who asked about you? You ok bruh? Lol yikes…
george leafer does this garbage all the time and then leaves. It’s a garbage post and he know it and then leaves when others call him out.
Are you drunk? You quoted me and went on a rant about someone having it out for Hughes and the Devils.
