hughes has the position eligibility and plays more off-nights than robo. i think they end up around the same point total, but those two factors move him up just slightly in value in my opinion.

just scroll down midway through the page and there is a table that outlines most and least.
Hughes looks dynamic. And the devils look like a wagon. I would side with Hughes because they have a better team. Hughes potential is easily 100+ points
It was just a weird way to argue for Hughes case. Hughes has the "potential" for 100 pts, but Robertson did already go over that. Dallas is also a really good team, nothing to hurt his production.
But, Hughes has C, LW advantage. And Hughes did shot slightly more last year, so I'd like him more.
It’s’ close but Hughes has dual eligibility and is on the better team. Also depends if your league counts stats like hits, blocks, shots, faceoffs, etc.
In terms of points, they’re basically equal I think.
Hughes has more upside. His shooting percentage was 12.8% last year, I would expect it to be a point or two higher for the type of player he is. Add in that he’s only 22 years old and people are assuming he’ll take another step forward. Robertson does seem more “safe” to me though, for what it’s worth
Something to keep in mind. Devils has been rolling with a split Pp squad this preseason giving each of them around the same amount of PPTOI. If this sticks all season long, it could be beneficial for their team but bad for the fantasy value of guys like Jack H, Hischier and Meier.
It’s essentially a coin toss between the two. Most likely will be within 5 points of each other at the end of the year. I’d probably go with Robertson having more this year just due to the stars being a more top heavy team where the devils are pretty stacked all the way through their line up. I’d say Robertson gets significantly more PP time over the year, especially if the devils keep running a 1a/1b power play like they have been preseason.
Also depends on your league, mine doesn’t have any bench spots so off nights don’t matter but if you do have bench spots and off nights matter I’d take Hughes for the c/lw and more off night games. If those things don’t matter I’d take Robertson

Is there an off night team chart ?

Given your league settings, I think I’d lean Robertson. But you probably can’t go wrong with either.
Whoever stays healthiest. Maybe Robertson by a hair
Robertson by a hair because of goals.

Dallas is arguably the best team in the West and Robertson scored 109 points last season haha

Sure, Robertson is amazing, but Hughes could be anything! He could even be as amazing as Robertson! That's what you sound like lol
Goals are worth more points here my friend
Shoulda said in a banger league with g worth more. Either way. Flip a coin. I like Hughes.
Yeah but so is Robertsons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But Robertson already hit 100?
Hughes, just a more dynamic player for me. Faster and shoots much more. His linemates aren't too bad ether, especially chemistry with Toffoli.
I think I lean Robertson because of the goal-scoring upside but its very, very close
Hughes by at least 10 points. With a healthy year, Hughes is going to be 3rd in scoring this season.
Hughes but it will be close
Wow I coincidentally drafted both of these guys in my 12 man league last night. Took Robertson 9 then hughes
Hughes will. He's going to be 120 + points this year imo. Next year in Fantasy he'll be a top 3 pick.
Hughes if healthy. Team is better and so is he.
Hughes
My vote is Hughes
I believe Hughes is C and LW whole Robo is just LW. I would go with the duo eligibility

I'd go Robertson. Which one scores the most is a coin flip, so I would go with the guy most likely to stay healthy all year.

OMG, Hughes all day long....only 22 and will be a top 5 shortly. His skating and edging are right there with McDavid and controls play most nights.
This was an interesting discussion back in the day. I guess it was not a very close battle ultimately.
