I think I'm just mainly excited that we can even talk about being on even-footing with them in some areas.

I think people sleep on Hughes more than they should even though he won the Norris.
He can score with Makar but seems to be a steadier defensive presence than Makar is.
He's incredible and more and more people seem to finally be noticing. Like I said, I didn't see that one coming at all. I thought he'd be a good player but I didn't have him becoming the best defenseman in the NHL and he's very much on his way there if he isn't already.
