Best Career Projection - Stützle / Point / J Hughes / E Pettersson

[Tufted Titmouse]

Best is a tough word to apply a judgement to, depends on how you weight personal achievements vs Cups, etc.

In future rankings 15 years from now, who will be at the top?

[Sasha Orlov]

Point AINEC

 

[Connor McConnor]

Point doesn't have the top end potential of any of the other 3 and is quite a bit older, not sure why he's included.

Went with the guy who was already a PPG 1C at the age of 20 playing with far inferior linemates than Point.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Not going against Point, but could be any of them.

 

[Rengorlex]

Point was the best forward of a back to back Cup winning team. Gotta go with him, even if someone like Hughes will most likely lap him in points.

 

[Favin]

Hughes
Stützle
Point
Pettersson

They are all good though

 

[M2Beezy]

Objectively speaking this is Elias Pettersson AINEC

 

[Connor McConnor]

Lol wut. He played with a guy named Kucherov who is the only player in the League currently that has surpassed McDavids point production in a RS. Even playing on a stacked line he can’t get a PPG and his defensive game is severely overrated.

He doesn’t drive offence at all. He’s a great passenger and a 2C ideally.

Point was without a doubt their best forward in 20 (it was really close in the Conn Smythe voting between him and Hedman, pretty sure Kucherov got 0 votes). In 21 it's more arguable.

Point very much drives offense, he is a lot more involved with the puck than Kucherov. If Kucherov is the brain of that line, Point is the engine.

 

[CanadienShark]

Torn between Hughes and Point. I went with Point because of his enormous head start.

How many examples do you need where one/two good Playoff runs doesn’t mean you’re a Superstar? Have you ever played a team sport before?

 

[J T Money]

Point already has 2 Stanley Cups…something the other 3 combined are likely to never achieve.

Not exactly fair to compare him with the 3 other up and coming players.

None of these players have been better than Brayden Point in the regular season. Lmao @ the condescending questions.

Did you read the OP? Point has a single PPG season in 6 years and Jack Hughes got it at 20. Oh yeah he didn’t need to piggy back off Kucherov to do it either

Yeah and the OP says:

depends on how you weight personal achievements vs Cups, etc.

And I weight being the most important skater (my personal evaluation) of a back to back Stanley Cup winning team high. You don't have to agree.

And I personally hate when people overrate playoff performances with small sample sizes than a whole career. Hughes is a top 3 centre level potential in the league for 15 years. Point is a borderline top 20C. Congrats to Point for making the most of his opportunities on a stacked team.

 

[Hisch13r]

It'll be Hughes on an individual level and that's what I'm going to look at most.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Hughes and Stutzle will go head to head for a long, long time in the East. Not sure who comes out on top.

 

[Aqualung]

I really liked Hughes last year. I’m hesitant to put above Point but I’m willing to bank that his play is sustainable. After Point I’d probably put EP then Stu.

 

[bsu]

For the long term future Hughes. I take Point over almost any NHL player in the playoffs right now though.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Stutzle won't be anywhere near the level of Hughes.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Stutzle won't be anywhere near the level of Hughes.

Oh. Why is that? Production-wise they look very similar through their first 2 nhl seasons with Hughes having a breakout season in what will be this year for Stutzle.

Why is Hughes that far ahead? Or ahead at all?

I think they chose Point as he’s had a great career so far. Some good scoring seasons and 2 cups.

You have to think it’d be hard for these guys to get close to his success level so far

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Because he is nowhere near as good as Hughes. That's why.

Ok, you sold me. Hughes it is.
