Actually the avs have a ~35% chance to draft top 2 with Ottawa’s pick. when you add in Colorado’s own lottery pick they are around 45% chance to draft top2.

Hughes is nowhere close to Patrick Kane

He's going to be one of the weaker 1OA picks in recent years

Agree and disagree,

No, he's (probably) no Patty Kane, but he's probably going to be shit load better than Hischier, Yakupov (obviously), RNH.
Cant compare to Ekblad because of positional differences, same with Dahlin + too early to tell still.
So i wouldnt say he's one of the weaker 1st overalls, i'd put him right in the middle, hes only behind MacKinnon, McJesus, and Matthews since 2011 imo.


inb4 Kakko picked 1st ovr

I don't watch Jack Hughes, but his numbers say he will be a superstar

it sucks he was injured at world juniors

Did you look at their jr games? I did and yes they have some similar skills which is why i say he may be the next patrick kane. Maybe he wont become the next patrick kane (like i think he will due to their ressembling skills) but his scaling is pretty high

Nah he's Hischier lvl, maybe a bit better but I feel like he might have a hard time translating his game to the NHL

But I guess NHL is soft as fuck now so maybe not

Nice defensive contest we got going tonight

WHAT?

I missed the first 10 minutes.... the fuck is going on?

LOL

hischier wasn't even hyped til later on in the year tho and it was a weak ass top draft year with nolan falling from 1 to 2 lol.
Hughes has better ppg in USHL than kane, eichel, kessel, keller etc. before entering the NHL, only matthews had better. (I remember a lot of ppl/scouts had doubts on matthews as a #1 oa pick that year too. Though, it's understandable cuz that year was deeeep) but yeh i get what u mean, hughes may turn out to be a huge bust or just not live up to the hype since not everyone succeeds in the NHL
