Hughes rather easily, Hischer looks like he's going to have an RNH-esque career
Not trolling at all? Why would I want to troll NJ? I don't care about any Hughes vs. Suzuki debate. To be entirely honest, with the divisions last year, I did not watch Hughes at all, so I have no idea of his progression. If I knew the answer, I would not ask the question. Based purely on potential, I voted Hughes anyway.
Not looking to troll, guys. I just thought it would be interesting to compare 2 former 1st overall picks playing for the same team and also playing the same position. I haven't watched Hughes at all last year and very little the year before, so I have no idea what he's looking like of late. I know that he has much higher potnetial, but Hischier is a pretty good player himself too. Since I could not watch the Jack Hughes, I decided to ask people who have.

What the deuce
Hughes. He's got a lot higher offensive upside. Hischier is a great player, but I don't ever see him becoming a superstar whereas Jack has that potential.
I mean, I'd love to have both. It's just so rare that you can get 2 1st overall picks playing for the same team, at the same position and both young players. I was thinking that I would educate myself asking here.
It's just a meme. Not much to read into man.
I think most reasonable people agree that Jack has more upside, and I personally think he'll pop off this season.
But Nico is fantastic too and it's a good 1-2C combo to have.
Absolutely. I'm envious for sure. I hoped that Kotkaniemi could be somewhat close to Hischier. Doesn't look that way to say the least.

I wouldn’t mind if Hischier turned into RNH, that probably means Hughes probably reached his ceiling as a 1C. You can do a lot worse than Nico Hischier being your 2C

It’s a lot closer than the poll is indicating, a lot of people forget how good Hischier looked out of the gate in 17-18 as a 1C on a bubble in playoff team. I’d probably pick Hughes with a gun to my head between the two due the better offensive creativity and he isn’t far behind defensively imo either.

The level of play with say from Hughes this past year is already ahead of anything we've seen from Hischier. And I'm a big Nico fan.
The pucks didn't go in for Hughes this year but he looked poised to break out as a star. Hischier is good, but I don't think he'll ever be the game-breaker Hughes looks like he's going to be.

Hischier had a nightmare season last year and Hughes took a big step forward so I'd be shocked if many Devils fans have Hischier ahead of Hughes going into 2021-22.

Hughes should win this quite easily, Nico is great but Hughes's upside is waaaay higher
I think Hughes has the potential to be one of the best players in the game, Nico will be a good 2 way center but not out of this world in any area
That being said, Hughes has a much higher chance of busting as well, since Nico is already established

I'd be shocked if any Devil fan that watches games picks Nico, he's great but Hughes with the puck is something else.
Absolutely no surprise that not one person has picked the Devil fan picking Hischier option
