Difference is Hughes generates the Devils offense. Kaako gets carried by his linemates. Points isn't everything.

Lol look at some of the underlying analytics. Kakko was driving play all year. The narrative in New York all year was Kakko looks great but the points just aren't coming as much as you'd like. So yes, points aren't everything

I've watched Rangers game this year. Kaako is either invisible or gets carried by his teammates (mostly Laf and Chytil). He did not drive play

How many, cause its not a correct take lol

Around 10. All of the games against the Devils. A couple games vs the capitals, flyers and bruins

He was invisible against the Devils unless his linemates carried. Laf was good, Kaako wasn't

He was solid and drove play. The points will come and he'll be a dynamite 2-way player in a few years time. Bottom line too early to declare him worse than Hughes

Also way too early to say you rather have Kaako over Hughes

Kakko will be better

Im pretty sure unbiased Ranger fans like @Kravtsov_Stan and @mhroblak would rather have Hughes over Kakko. Kakko is better defensively but not by much. Hughes is significantly better than Kaako offensively. I've watched Rangers games this year. Kakko was invisible. You can't possibly say you rather have Kaako than Hughes. Hughes has more potential, more positional value, and is more proven

I have been Summoned, and I love Kakko and think he will be an elite winger but Hughes is absolutely better and will have a better career
