Makar

 

[Linds]

Makar will have more assists than Huges will have points

 

[Rengorlex]

Hughes, he just plays for the points while Makar plays to win.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Whoever plays the most games.

 

[The S5]

Poll should be which guy will play the best defense.

 

[Xirik]

Next year it will be Makar vs LUKE Hughes.

 

[abo9]

Next year it will be Makar vs LUKE Hughes.

Or Quinn vs Luke

Or Quinn vs Luke

We already know Lukes going to win that one though, Mama and Papa Hughes continued having children until they achieved perfection.

Makar's also playing with 5 NHL forwards in the line up. Thanks for coming out

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

All Hughes gets is assists, guy never scores.

Makar will have more points but Hughes will have more assists.

The only forwards missing from the lineup that are of any relevance to Makar are Landeskog and Nichushkin. I don't know who else you're trying to smuggle in there.

Also, even with those two in the lineup, I don't know how many more points you'd expect him to have. He's already over PPG.

Those players being out forces the Avs to dress bottom 6 players in their top 6. It has a big impact on his assist totals. Before Nichuskin went down, he had half of the Avs PP goals. PP assists are easy assists for Makar...it's also where Hughes gets a lot of his assists.

Exactly what multitude of bottom 6 guys are playing in the top 6 exactly.

It's also not like Mack and Rantanen aren't playing over 22 MPG right?

Apparently the best team in the NHL is just a couple injuries away from being an AHL team even though they still have like 4 of their 5 best players healthy.

Apparently?

That’s what I’m told by Avs fans

 

[Buck Naked]

Six 5v5 points from Makar this season. Same as Jamie Oleksiak. Wasn't this guy better than McDavid?

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Hughes is a better playmaker than Makar so I'll go with him. Since his shot is a complete muffin Hughes is also going to focus heavily on the playmaking.

Vancouver is playing with trash on their roster

Thanks for coming out

 

[JoeSakic13]

I think Hughes will end up with more assists, but Makar will have more points.

They’re both great as a powerplay QB, but Makar is lethal with that precision wrister through traffic.

Don't they have 3 first line centres?

How many NHL forwards did they have last season when they were the best team in the NHL yet Hughes still had more assists?

After making a shitty prediction, you decided to double down. Nice.
