Well attached to Q Hughes top scoring achievement In the regular season is that he became one of three rookie dmen to win the rookie scoring title in the last 80 years with the other two being HHOF .
Q Hughes is top scoring rookie in the 2020 playoffs.
Makar doesn't get to claim anything but second place in the rookie scoring titles but he certainly came in a very respectable and close second I'll admit.
Well thats just not true. Hughes is currently
leading the scoring race, but he hasn’t won. Gurianov is still around and has at least 3 more games to get one point to tie / two to win.
Admittedly, Gurianov will take more games to get there (if he does) - but that also favours an argument for Makar over Hughes... I also think the stats are all inflated this year with the play-in round being used, but thats a separate issue. Both are excellent / remarkably equal players that bring a slight different edge.
Hughes playoff stat line:
- 16 pts in 17 GP (6 pts in 4 play-in games, 4 pts against STL in 6 GP, 6 pts against LVK in 7 GP).
Makar stat line:
- 15 pts in 15 GP (1 pt in 3 round robin games, 6 pts against ARI in 5 GP, 8 pts against DAL in 7 GP).
Gurianov stat line:
- 15 pts in 20 GP (0 pt in 3 round robin games, 7 pts against CGY in 6 GP, 8 pts against COL in 7 GP, 0 pt against LVK in 4 games so far)
