I dont think hughes is bad, but he needs a defensive partner because of the risks he takes and the fact hes playing against top guys. But his breakouts alone are a huge benefit defensively
It's why he and tanev were so good, and why with hamonic his numbers stabilized even with the team in covid hell.
He cant play with OEL or Myers next year, unless they are chasing in the 3rd
He needs a stay at home partner who is good down low. Hamonic or Schenn are both decent options for that. They dont need to break the bank in anyway for his partner
