EP right now so far looking at his past 2 seasons and Hughes' struggles last season (tho he was a rookie on a terrible team). Moving forward, I think I would take my shot on Hughes. EP is what he is. Good 2 way C probably good for 70 points a year. Great player on the PP. Hughes has shown bursts of speed and dangles and comfortability I never saw last season. I think if he continues down his path and keeps getting stronger and more confident, we're looking at another McDavid/ McKinnon level skater who will probably put up 90 points a year.
