q. hughes vs m. rielly

[34]

No one can say right now. Hughes has played 42 games in the last 2 seasons. Don't get ahead of yourselves here!

Rielly has put up 70+ point seasons in the NHL, playing against the best players in the world. He would have been Vancouvers top #1 scorer last season with 72 points, where Pettersson only had 66 points. I don't think anyone can be throwing shade at Rielly.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Hughes will pass Rielly by next season imo. I think it’s already close and that on balance Hughes has played better than Rielly this year. But it’s only half a season and we need to see more. Rielly should bounce back at least somewhat. Need to see more.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I'm a huge Toronto hater and even I can see that it's Reilly

Boooooo.

Hand in your Toronto-hater card.

Anywho, the answer is the non-Leafs player AINEC

I think you should look at the poll results here one more time.

Morgan Reilly has put up one, not multiple, 70 point season.

Not sure you’re one to talk about evaluating players accurately given how wrong you’ve been with regards to Nylander, Pettersson, etc.

 

[Aqualung]

Hughes will never be on Rielly's level, the talent levels just aren't comparable - Rielly is much more talented. Expecting his development to hit a big plateau soon.

Like you said Pettersson won’t be cracking 50 points and beating Giroux or that Nylander >>> Pettersson? According to your scouting I should expect Hughes to surpass Reilly.

Pretty sure Pettersson didn't even play a full season, and was a rookie, the only thing I'm getting from this though is that Reilly's pts would tank last year if he played in Vancouver.

As for the poll I haven't watched enough of Hughes, but I don't doubt that he and the other young D will surpass Reilly by season's end or early next year.

70+ point season. He did it once and it looks to be an outlier. And he wouldn't have put 70 points on the Canucks last year so that's irrelevant.

Bold prediction. Guess we will all see after this season. The kid has a ways to go, to beat 20 goals, 72 points.

Hughes has 3 goals.

Maybe you misunderstood but that wasn’t a prediction but an indictment of your opinion and that I should expect the exact opposite.

Not that it is a bold prediction... Morgan has 2 goals in his D+1 rookie season in 73 games. Quinn’s already got him beat there in his D+1 rookie season.

I am not arguing the fact that Quinn is not a fantastic D prospect. All I am saying, is that he has a long way to go before being in the convo with proven top pairing D men.

 

[Patagonia]

Rielly easily. I’m not a Leaf fan, but this was easy. QHughes will be a very good player, but he's not better than the other young DMen Makar or Heiskanen.

 

[Halla]

the guy coming off 72pts

 

[Halla]

Its hughes, already better defensively and is putting up big numbers.

"big numbers"

Hughes: 3g/27pts/-7
Rielly: 3g/25pts/+6

What? Big #’s?

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Hughes is my favourite player to watch, its still Rielly.

Hughes is so unique, he's a better playmaker & more creative (than most D in the league), but Rielly is superior defensively & has a better shot. If they are playing on the same team Rielly is the first pair guy getting tougher matchups.

Hughes is good defensively but he still has some work to do, its still his first year, he's still learning like any rookie.

hughes is way better defensively than rielly dude

 

[Icebreakers]

"big numbers"

Hughes: 3g/27pts/-7
Rielly: 3g/25pts/+6

Those are considered big numbers for a 20 year old rookie...

 

[OKOptimistic]

Could you at least give an effort to press your shift button

 

[VoluntaryDom]

hughes is a +2 at 5v5 with a .994 PDO but a -4 even strength with a .972 PDO, obviously theres some 4v4 and 3v3 f***ery going on

no thanks

Heck No!

Makar is WAY better than Quinn Hughes. Its not even close.

 

[HockeyAddict]

Voted Rielly based on the question but if it was 2 years out and beyond I'd have picked Hughes... he looks really good!

 

[Ace of Hades]

Heck No!

Makar is WAY better than Quinn Hughes. Its not even close.

Way to exaggerate.

 

[CatchyTune]

Until Quinn puts up 72 points (including 20 goals) its Rielly.

Thats obviously not out of the picture for Quinn sometime in the future.

You can't be serious? Right? You're just going to look at a career year and go with that?

Until Matthews puts up 56 goals in a season Cheechoo will be known as the better goal scorer.
