True for almost any offensive dman. Luke, like Quinn or Subban, will add value based on his elite offensive ability. But he has developed the defensive side of his game much more this season. Plays on PK, is on the ice late when protecting leads. And has 4 inches and 20 lbs on Quinn and still putting up better offensive numbers at Michigan.

And is still the best defensive prospect in all of NCAA.

Cannot really ask for anything more at this point.


I'll say this, I haven't watched him in College, just the very small sample size from the WJC. And he needs to massively increase his defensive ability if he wants to he a true #1 in the NHL.

Hughes-Nemec Heart Eyes


Maybe in need-a-goal situations. Long term, looking more like….

Siegenthaler -- Hamilton
Hughes* -- Marino
Bahl* -- Nemec

Okhotiuk -- Mukhamadullin*
Vilen -- Casey
Edwards -- Walsh*
Orlov -- McCarthy
Vukojevic -- Leddy
-- Barabosha
-- Hurtig

(* can play either side)

In the games I watched, he was fine defensively. There were actually a few plays that commentators pointed out to exemplify his ability to defend (especially against the rush). Again, I am not worried about Luke. He will be a stud.

It’s a little early to call Hughes the best defenseman in NHL history. I think the Hughes comparisons I have seen are more “Hughes is good offensive dman who could come out of NCAA and help NJ down the stretch and playoffs if they get there”…much like Makar did.


I just don’t think his offense will be on the same level as Makars. No one’s is. If anything Luke will be similar to Quinn, great offensive D who struggles defensively.

The thing with Makar and what allowed him to be elite at both ends of the ice the second he made his debut is that he was good at all aspects of the game in the defensive zone which allowed him to thrive in transition. He could play the role of the puck retriever and win puck battles leading to an exit or play the role of the puck mover. From the chart you posted it even shows he’s weak in puck battles.

I mean Luke is woeful at actually doing his job (defense). He reminds me of a poor man's PK Subban. Great at creating offense, but you better have a complimentary partner for him who can erase his mistakes


Kinda sounds like Hughes. The other one

Quinn and Luke should just switch to forward in the next world cup or olympics so we can have the Hughes-Hughes-Hughes forward line

Makar is best dman in NHL. Definitely think Luke will be different type of player. I was just saying that the comparisons I have seen are more biographical (leaves college, signs, helps developing team try to make playoffs, etc).

I think he will be more similar to a Werenski / Quinn hybrid. Quinn is probably better distributor of puck, but Luke is a bit longer, can play transition defense well and has bigger shot from blue line.

Yeah that's fair. I just don't like comparing him to someone who's barely older than him.

As much as that would be hilarious. We need to give it to a guy that works his ass off every single game and is our most consistent player beside ovi. Nic Dowd

Back then, goalies were heroes just for standing in front of the net with so little equipment, especially before the 60's.

Watch Terry Sawchuk before and after his NHL career. At the end he looked like Frankenstein.
