When Caufield played his first NHL game, he was older than Hughes is now. This isn't a particularly meaningful comparison. I'm not even saying he doesn't have a shot at being better than Hughes, but this doesn't really tell you anything about whether that will happen.
I agree with this mostly, I think the being a rookie aspect matters but when looking at men under the age of 22 I think age matters more.
Jack outproduced Cole this year on a point/game basis (I'm including the Habs playoff games) but when you account for Cole being a rookie and most of his games being in the playoffs where points are harder to come by. I'd say they had very imilar levels of production this year and next year should be the actual one we use for our first true comparison.
