I guess Luke schenn has had a better career than Phil housley

Things like this are legitimate and absolutely do count. If you think that having a cup is a big enough boost for him to have a better career then you should vote for Bowen Byram.

Pat Maroon>Mcdavid and Ovechkin because he has 3 cups?

Wrap it up boys

sure, if you think byram tops out as luke schenn.

Not an overly fair poll for Bryam, the kid has some serious injury issues to get through. If he can pull through and stay healthy, I think they could be fairly close but with different skill sets

 

[Tralfamadore]

Hughes but Byram is a stud too.

 

[centipede2233]

Unfair poll, I think a heiskanen vs Hughes is better poll

 

[Siludin]

I have Hughes quite far ahead right now. With Byram playing ~behind Makar and splitting the remaining powerplay minutes with guys like Toews/Girard, he will never have the same opportunity as Hughes unless he's traded, so imo it's not a fair comparison based on their positions within the lineup.

edit:

I'd be curious about Byram vs. Sanderson/Drysdale and how that would all play out

 

[HanSolo]

All right OP come clean. Who said they'd take Byram over Hughes?

That’s not the point of what you said.

it is.

your acting like byram is a plug and not a bluechipper.

 

[Lavar Ball]

I mean Byram was one of the most essential pieces in that cup run. If he stays healthy I don't see why he can't have the better career.

It makes sense to prefer Byram when you already have Makar. Byram is better defensively and (this year at least) the is the better goal scorer. Byram is the better complement to Makar, whether as a line mate or as a 1D on the 2nd line.

byram is a stud but its hughes and its not even close

 

[Diamonddog01]

Pretty hard to argue against Hughes and what he’s done statistically up until this time. I am also a bit concerned by Byram’s injury history.

Hughes loses in a landslide

Byram looks better because he gets sheltered minutes compared to Hughes. Hughes is the better defender/puck handler. Byram is the better goal scorer though

Hughes is not the better defender. And Byram is only sheltered if you mean he gets almost no PP time.

When Avs fans say they would keep Byram over Hughes. After what we say is forgotten or ignored. The bolded one is what some Nucks fans just see. When we factor salary and role on the team we would rather keep Byram since Hughes wouldn't get the role he is having in Vancouver with Makar on the team. Salary wise knowing the fact that we will lose one of Toews or Girard we need cheap dman in our top 4 with top pairing potential that can take Makar's role if injured.

As for the poll it's pretty much impossible not to go with Hughes with him being the better player right now, healthy and having the opportunities he's having in Vancouver. So yeah I have to go with Hughes.
