[@flatspin7]

In retrospect it’s probably good Jack struggled that first year. It forced to him learn and adapt to the league. He has looked simply stellar since coming back from the shoulder and he’s not done developing yet. Hard to remember that he’s just 20. The mystery remains… did Ty Smith ever buy himself a car! 😂😂

[@ronnytotten9292]

He has simplified his game! He has been shooting a lot more too its really helped him

[@wings193]

I think it’s good for young, potential superstars to struggle early. It makes them understand that the NHL requires you to bring your best night after night, unlike youth/junior/college where you get games against far inferior opponents and can take a night off. I think it will make him hungrier and honestly, I would bet he wins a cup before a guy like Mathews sniffs a finals appearance

[@connormcteer3319]

Not disagreeing jack will beat mathews to a cup my only thing is, Hughes is on a team with a wealth of prospects whereas mathews is on Toronto who's fans are so Gung hoe for a cup that the gm trades everything and anything with potential away. Given similar situations this wouldn't even be a conversation mathews is the far superior player. Coming from a guy who hates mathews and the leafs, you can't just discredit his skill

[@wings193]

Not discrediting that Matthews is a superstar in the league and it’s definitely not his fault the Leafs are a mess, but he’s the kind of guy with all the talent in the world but only shows up to play when he feels like it and you can’t really do that especially when you’re the best player on your team.

[@connormcteer3319]

Hughes has 20 points in 19 games, kyrou has 36 points in 32 games, kyrou averages 2 minutes less each night. Hughes is having a good break out season but unless he maintains it for 2+ seasons he's no superstar. Same goes to kyrou (using him as a mere example) he's playing great but by no means is he a superstar. If Hughes finishes above ppg pace this year and next year then he's a superstar. So far he hasn't proven enough

As someone from LA ….still find myself cheering for this guy… and I have not been disappointed. I love seeing that he didn’t lose confidence bc he shouldn’t… knowing his f he worked hard enough and kept pushing… nothing could stop him. He’s definitely such a playmaker and goal scorer
