Patrik Elias:

Having Patrik Elias being the all-time points leader in Devils history is a major target to eclipse. Elias won two Stanley Cups on top of scoring 1,025 points in 20 seasons. One of the character traits we see in Jack Hughes is his calmness, his swagger, and that contagious smile. He makes people around him look so much better and knows when to shoot or pass the puck. If we want to think of the amount of points Jack could yield taking an average of 87 points per season in 20 seasons that would be 1,740 points. That by default would make Jack Hughes the all-time scoring leader in points.

What Jack Hughes has going for him in this day and age is his speed, youth, smarts, hockey sense, and hockey IQ. This kid is so creative, and absolutely a pure natural talent.
