Jack Hughes is one of the best players in the NHL, yet the league continues to underrate the star center. Could this ranking be because he was injured last season? Or is it just that no one thinks he is one of the better centers in the league?
Although he only played 62 games last season, Hughes finished the year with 70 points and was on track to finish with about 92 points. He averaged 1.13 PPG, 2.05 P60 (Points per 60 minutes), and a 59.0 GF% (on ice Goals for %). These numbers alone display why Jack Hughes is a special player.
