Hughes+Hischier vs Kakko+Kravtsov

[BKarchitect]

Which pair would you build around? Yeah, I know there’s a slim chance it could be the opposite but just roll with it.

Weak.

 

[BKarchitect]

Figured Kakko vs Hughes would be around 50/50 and Kravtsov is probably one of the top 3 drafted prospects in the NHL but if I’ve miscalculated perception this thread will get closed soon enough.

Kakko is better than Hughes and Nico aint nothing special. If Kravtsov becomes a first line winger this is Kakko + Kravtsov easily.

Even though I think Kravtsov will be a 70 point player, you go with the proven player in Hischier. And that tips it for me to the Devils even though I have Kakko at 1

Hughes and Kakko are close, Hischier and Kravtsov are not.

Devils duo.

I'd take:

Laine ( #2/2016) + Trouba (#9/2012)

over

Yakupov (#1/2012) + Nugent-Hopkins (#1/2011)

Says The one who knows what hes talking about. Hughes IS a Drouin or low end 1c at best. Kakko is way better offensively than Barkov was. Being a Center doesnt even it out when there is huge gap on talent.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I think the results will be very different in a year

Hughes = Kakko > Kravtsov > Hischier

Its pretty obvious youre a Ranger fan

Devils duo.

Here's the thing, I pick the Devils duo too as of right now but the problem is, 3 of those players haven't even played a single second on NHL ice so how in the world can we know one way or another?

I like what both Kravtsov and Kakko have shown against grown men and it certainly will help both of their transition, Hughes however has amazing potential and Hischier has pretty much proven he can "hang" in the NHL.

Bottom line is, threads like these are silly because we are talking potential and potential is fantasy.

I have the potential to run 100 meters in less than 10 seconds and steal all the money and women from Usain Bolt... yet here I am on a hockey board talking about a kid named Kakko.

I am
I want Hughes over Kakko though check my post history

 

[Freudian]

Two centers vs two wingers.

 

[tony d]

Hughes and Hischier.

hughes<kakko
hischier>>>kravtsov

devils duo

while nico's sophomore slump has me a bit worried he showed me enough in his rookie year for me to be very excited about him

also agree with kakko>hughes

Any why would anyone believe that you know what you're talking about when you throw out ridiculous opinions like this?

 

[Dr Salt]

Kakko > Hughes but Hischier went first overall for a reason. I think he bounces back. Besides Kravstov still needs to be proven and while he has an elite ceiling, its not Hischier's.

What sophomore slump? His production went up despite playing with worse players most of the year (sometimes guys who aren't even NHLers), but he missed a bunch of time due to injury and generally improved his game. I was hoping for a bit more, but the entire Devils season was derailed due to injuries and terrible goaltending, so it is what it is.

Point me The ridiculous Part?

 

[CanadienShark]

Point me The ridiculous Part?

When you refer to Hughes as Jonathan Drouin. When you state that Kakko is "way better" than Barkov was offensively.
