Bowen Byram vs. Quinn Hughes

[HockeyWooot]

Hughes, it's not that close right now.

Byram can become the more complete defenceman but it's not a great comparison. Hughes' defensive game has been quite good this season, with only a poor defensive season in his sophomore year. The perceived difference of Byrams defensive play is dwarfed by the gap in offensive production.

Byram is stuck behind the top pair which limits PP opportunities but would he be used as a 1D if the Avs didn't have Makar, I don't necessarily think so.

I think Byram vs Seider would be a better comparison.

Good thing the Aves don't have Hughes. If Byram is - 2 against an expansion team in a pivotal game 5 when Makar is gone then Hughes would be like - 15 at least.

How’s Byram’s jock strap ur breathing out of

You’re assuming Byram even has an impact in the first place with his sheltered ass minutes

This has to be Hughes, not that close either.

His team's lost zero games these playoffs.

Does that look like no impact to you?

Wow a game he wasn’t sheltered for. And his team lost!

You’re proving my point.

Still one of the funnier threads on here. Hughes is so much better it's not even close.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Literal playoff Jesus Byram kept his over matched team close. But in the end the Aves tell short.

Little doubt with Hughes that the Aves would have lost 7-0.

I'll still take Byram over Hughes on the Avs and think he'll have a better career if healthy. That healthy part is very important though, availability is as important as ability. Hughes will have a nice career but his limitations will hold him back from being the number 1 on an elite team. I see him as the Gaudreau of dmen, while Byram could be the Kucherov of dmen.
