What a, what a brunt that would have to be for him to bear.

You have,

that kind of secondary complimentary superstar with Quinn Hughes, who's able to help drive play control, just, just the up ice movement.

Like you talked about shaking guys off and making them look like they need directions and they need a map or something like that.

The zone entry and the power play is pretty much all but been fixed because you add one superstar skater.

They tried it without him at least a couple of times last night.

Yeah.

I stand by my statement the other day where I feel like if you gave me a shift at their very peaks, just because he's a forward, just because of how strong of a skater he is in the shooting world,

I would say at their peaks, it's still probably a coin toss, but maybe Kirill has a slight edge.

But how consistently elite, top-tier Quinn Hughes is right now, I agree.

He is the better player, but they're different.

I think they're slightly different players.

He's still making the plays that I think...

signifying an elite playmaker but i i think he is getting bit a little bit by guys not being in or being on the same wavelength and being in the position he maybe needs them to one instance was last night i want to say it was in the third period um when they were trailing but it was a zone entry that was kind of i don't know it was kind of broken and then eventually it was just like okay let's ring the puck down low okay well it it went too hard we're gonna ring it back down again

And on like the second attempt, I think it was Faber threw it in low and Kirill was coming on his offhand from the right wing corner and the puck was along the wall.

And there was just kind of a,

Split second deflection or redirection or whatever you would call it.

But he just sort of kicks it out right to the slot.

And I don't think I expected it.

I don't think anybody on the Red Wings expected it.
