J Hughes>Zegras
L Hughes<Drysdale

Took the devils duo cause I think Jack is the best of the group

Hughes

I'd take the Ducks because I think by next season Zegras will have a similar jump than Hughes, I like his playmaking and shot more than Hughes while Hughes has skating and speed on Z. Everyone knows I have been calling Hughes a future superstar since he was drafted on here even through his struggles. Zegras and Hughes will both be superstars imo.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Homer vote for Hughes x2 but I understand why people would take Anaheim here

 

[CasusBelli]

NYR fan. Would kill for Hughes brothers.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Is there any correlation between people ranking Luke Hughes at the bottom and him never having played an NHL game? Hmm

 

[The Red Line]

I'd be perfectly happy with Anaheim, but Jack Hughes is a step above the rest.

I think he will develop into a Morgan Reilly type player, so that's where I ranked him.

 

[Rydev]

Luke would be the likely 1st overall in 2022 if he was seven days younger

So since he hasnt played yet, its likely they wont win the vote. But I think a lot of GMs would take Luke over Jamie in a choice today in a draft

 

[Hisch13r]

Hughes^2. Jack is the deciding factor here.

 

[Oneiro]

I love that Ducks duo, they're gonna be great and probably win most similar polls, but the results both Hughes brothers are getting are too ridiculous. It's almost unfair to compare them to peers.

So homer vote for Hughes spawn.

 

[Big Empty]

Jack > Zegras
Luke > Drysdale

 

[Auto Pilot]

The Hughes brothers. drysdale and zegras are good too though so.

I just think both brothers are better than Zegras and Drysdale. Luke based upon talent / potential and Jack is already putting up elite numbers while he is still a few years from entering his prime.

 

[Wierzbowski426]

Interesting poll.

I'd choose the Devs duo partially out of homerism but I can see the argument for either.

I do think Jack is the best of this group of players by a not insignificant amount.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I am surprised at the results here.

I also am surprised people have J Hughes on a different tier than Zegras. Hughes has had the benefit of playing with some pretty good wingers this year, including Bratt, Sharangovich, and Mercer. Zegras doesn't have nearly that support on his line.

I think Drysdale is probably more likely to be a better NHL'er than L Hughes, but Luke might have the highest upside of this entire group - what he's doing as a true freshman defenseman is really incredible. He could legitimately hit Makar-like levels if everything pans out for him.

Zegras plays with Rakell I believe who is a pretty good winger and probably better than Sharangovich. If we’re being honest here Sharangovich probably doesn’t have close to as many goals and points without Hughes.

Rakell really isn't that good anymore. But Zegras also played an incredibly unnecessary amount of time with Deslauriers.

Still, Zegras's 5v5 p/60 with Rakell on the ice is 2.58, and 2.78 with Milano, but that fell to 0.77 with Deslauriers.

Hughes' 5v5 p/60 is 2.57 on the season, so Zegras is producing comparably when he's with Rakell.

I think Rakell is definitely better than Sharangovich. He’s still pretty good.

You should watch a Ducks game, he's been good the last 5 games but yeah... Rakell is one of the biggest floaters on the entire team. If you go to the Ducks forum 95% of fans want him traded, which will tell you all you need to know.

Milano wasn't even projected to be in our lineup before the season... Zegras is going to make his linemates a lot of money.

Honestly, he's really not. Sharangovich is outproducing him this year after doing so last year as well, while getting a lot less ice time.

They’re producing pretty much equally. Rakell has 2 less points and 2 more goals in 2 less games. Rakell produced at a 44 point pace last season but only a 14 goal pace and a 19 goal and 53 point pace the season before. Sharangovich produced at a 24 goal and 46 point pace last season. So his goal scoring was a good chunk better.

As I said though I don’t think Sharangovich would produce close to as well if he wasn’t playing with Jack.

 

[Mr Kot]

Have to go with the huge brothers myself, though Drysdale still has time to get up to speed.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Hard to compare Luke to the other 3.

I voted Hughes bros, just love Jack so much. Drysdale makes it difficult though.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hard to say right now

jack
Zegras
Drysdale
Luke

but prob not fair to Luke…. I also think zegras is prob closer to Jack then people think… I’d say slight edge to devils duo tho
