I can't remember where it was, probably the Athletic. But basically he had much better numbers at both ends of the ice with Tyler Myers, which makes no sense because Tyler Myers sucks at both ends of the ice. It was probably just a sample size issue.

Because without Tanev this past year, Hughes seemed to be a defensive tire fire, and his stats, I believe, showed it.

Oh boy did they ever.
