Says Dano, "Against Team Russia, he was dominant. Two assists, and could have been involved in eight goals.”
And this is what I have seen from Hughes, yes he puts up tons of points, but he's just constantly involved in scoring chances. Even Slovakia that first game he was involved on a bunch. Or go back to the U-18's when he has that crazy 7 point game, he could have had 12 in that game.
I don't really get into the skill breakdowns. Does he have great edges? Sure, why not. Great passer clearly(his back hands do really stand out in that regard), but he just creates like nothing I've seen before(granted I didn't watch much of McDavid in juniors).
