Ur a real funny kid saying Hughes is better than Laf. Ask any draft analyst who would you take laf or Hughes. 100% of them would say laf buddy so case and point

When have the two played in like-for-like competitions? And how did they do?

What do scouts say? (ignore people paid to generate clicks and eyeballs in current moment).

The Canadian always gets preference with the Canadian media "rankers" .....going back to Turris > Kane in 2007 (even central scouting, although McKenzie switched by June)

Also.......I love how Rangers fans told everyone last year was a "toss-up" between Hughes and Kakko...."ignore the rankers, they are even"
(among the rankers, there was consensus, Hughes>Kakko).

Are you talking about people in media? Or actual scouts, players, hockey people?

Among scouts its about 50/50

We never even said ignore the rankers. If we are going by point shot overall play like you are with Hughes and laf. Who was better this season Hughes or Kakko?

Legit scouts say laf... read up

Bud thinks he’s right🤣🤣🤣

Legit scouts are split

NYR fans ... always the same .... Kakko > Hughes, Kravstov > anyone, Lias > Hischier, Lundqvist > Broduer, Leetch > Stevens, Turcotte > MacLean....

Not my first rodeo

Lafrenier>Kappo>Hughes

They seem to keep responding without any actual argument other than "really kid Laf is better because thats what I think". I'd say you gave a very legit argument in favor of Hughes. That said, he certainly had an underwhelming rookie year and I wouldn't be suprised in Lafreinerre, who is bigger and a winger, puts up better numbers this year. But to say that he is significantly better than Jack heading into their respective drafts is extremely biased.

"Bacuz he's bettur"...lol, then they disappear.

Imagine the damage Hughes would have done in Q last year.



We covered this. Enjoy Laf, he will be great.

i thnk they will all be gr8. im just not tradin kappo for hughes (as this post suggested), and nor would the devils. they all play diff games and styles and have diff skill sets. pick ur poison.
as far as comparing what hughes would do in the Q...laf did pretty good dont u think?

Laf did great. If Hughes had gone to play junior instead of NHL, he would have put up 2 ppg for Steelheads in his sleep.
