Kirby Dach vs Jack Hughes

[Cousin Eddie]

Jack Hughes is quickly becoming the most underrated player in the league

Underrated based on what? His 21 point rookie season or when he followed it up with 31 points? It’s certainly not his all round game or his physical presence.

For the record I picked Hughes in the poll. I think his ceiling is very high. But unless many people are calling him an AHL quality player or something like that it’s kinda silly to suggest he’s the most underrated player in the NHL lol.

Underrated based on posts like this who evaluate him based on his point totals lol.

Lol right. Fill me in on the incredible intangibles of this star.

I'm not here to educate you on a player you clearly don't watch.

Well you’re certainly wrong about that. I just want to hear how you were going to milk him into being something he isn’t. At least not yet.

I predict Hughes will be an 80-90 pts player in a couple years while Dach will be a high end #2c, low end #1C.

Sure, you go ahead and pretend that 31 points is a good indication of how he played last year.

Watch this video and tell me this guy isn't a star - not to mention we're talking about his NINETEEN year old season. Too bad he doesn't have a Kane to play with.

Jack has more natural offensive abilities but Dach is probably the best young power forward in the game.

This guy isn’t a star

 

[goonybird]

looks like a star in the making to me. Definitely the best of that draft class

How is he better than Tkachuk at this moment?

Agreed

I think Zegras and Hughes will end up the exact same. Elite players with similar traits and numbers. Barzal type players.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Cant go wrong with either guy, although DACH should be a better guy for long playoff runs.

I agree they are similar. I like Zegras a little better though. Bigger, better defensive center, and a better shot. Hughes skates better.

 

[Dr Salt]

Dach, totally not biased

Why don’t you take a look at Hughes’s defensive stats this year , little buddy?

best very young? but both Tkachuk bros are fantastic young power forwards !!

 

[biturbo19]

Dach has actually been a lot better than i expected, and Hughes has been fairly disappointing, even relative to my somewhat tempered early expectations for him due to size deficiency and style of play adaptation needed. But i'd still ride with Hughes for the long-run, at this point.

People can't let the pre draft scouting go. They'll do anything to make their scouting report correct. Hughes can play in his own end, and well.

Why doesn’t he kill penalties then? The Devils had such a bad PK. And he’s one of the worst face off men in the league.

Idk man i don't coach the PK. Maybe Lindy doesn't want his best offensive player playing all of PP PK and 5v5 in a shortened covid year in his 2nd year as a 19 year old?
