By now you’ve heard that the New Jersey Devils won the Draft Lottery for the second time in three years. Most people believe that they will select the United States National Development Team center, Jack Hughes. Hughes is compared to guys like Connor McDavid at times and whether that is an exaggeration or not is to be seen, but he is for sure an elite playmaker by all accounts.
If all come true with Hughes’ capabilities, that would do wonders for the Devils other number one pick Nico Hischier. He is more of the two-way, highly-skilled player.
