Zegras + Drysdale vs J Hughes + L Hughes

[Northern Avs Fan]

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.

Jack Hughes skating is exceptionally rare. That’s the separator for me. He’s not far off from McDavid as a skater.

Didn't vote as I think it's too close to call right now.

If there was a too close to call option to vote I think many might have taken it.

Probably because Luke hasnt even made the league yet

Speaks to his level of talent though as its not often a prospect is taken over a not-much-older NHL talent whos shown a lot
