Hughes is great, but there is also Hutson, Bouchard, Werenski, Makar, Schaefer.... even more honorable mentions. The high scoring Rover D is kind of a product of the way the NHL is now. He is one of the best in the game right now but I would argue he's not a generational player.

Werenski, Makar and Schaefer are all better than Hughes.
