Yea, bookmark. To save for future reference and to use constantly when someone is inevitably proven wrong.truely disgraceful until you learn about the button, you are not allowed to mention here, but we all know, what it is.

For sure. But that's MacKinnon and Hughes isn't MacKinnon. Not every long term deal turns out to be MacKinnon. Svechnikov just signed for 7.8 mill and he is definitively better than Hughes.
Hughes is awesome… but no he’s still not close to MacKinnon.I mean WHO could’ve possibly seen this coming and him being as good as MacKinnon? It’s not like the guy had a similar pre draft pedigree and consistently showed all world talent even though the production didn’t initially come.
He’s definitely not proven long term like Mackinnon, but his first long term contract is certainly looking equally “team-friendly”.Hughes is awesome… but no he’s still not close to MacKinnon.

Stop it. Mackinnon is over 1.4 ppg this season and he’s been banged up for a chunk of it.You’re right. He’s been better this season.

Oh yeah it’s a steal of a contract, up there with Tage for the best. But Hughes will have to keep up this pace and then some for at least another season or 2 before he’s up there with MacKinnon.He’s definitely not proven long term like Mackinnon, but his first long term contract is certainly looking equally “team-friendly”.
Hughes is great but Mackinnon is better than him. I can see the comparison between them as far as undervalued first contracts, but Mackinnon is a beast offensively and defensively. He's been a top 10 player for many years at this point. The guy has been injured since the summer when he won the Stanley Cup and is scoring at a 128 point pace per 82 games. Jack has been heathier than Nate, but he's not reached Nate's level at this pointYou’re right. He’s been better this season.
Hughes definitely making me eat my words now with how well he has played.

This might be the best longterm contract in the NHL. This deal, the Tage Thompson contract, and the Adam Fox contract are looking like the next 5+ years versions of current day Mackinnon, Marchand, Pastrnak contracts.

Jack is a superstar and he's only 21 years old. He has so much control on the ice, it was only a matter of time that he would figure out how to score at the NHL level. He can be so dominant and he's only getting better and better. I can't wait to see how good he is for the life of this deal, he's a true franchise player
Yeah, I would give it a slight edge over Adam Fox at 9.5 million for the next 6.5 seasons. Fox is a top 3 defensemen in the NHL and will likely be for the entirety of the contract. but Hughes at 8 million for the next 7.5 seasons is just absurd value. Hughes is still just scratching the surface of the kind of player he's going to be at age 24/25/26 in my opinion.It is the best pretty clearly.
