It is truly amazing that I can write these profiles and have them be about the top players available in the draft. The best I’ve been able to look at is the 10th overall. Now with the Rangers drafting 2nd overall, and the Devils not tipping their hand at if they are actually going to pass on Jack Hughes and take Kaapo Kakko, we get to look at both.
Hughes, the consensus #1 overall pick for most of the season, tore up the USNTDP this year with a line of 21-39-60 in just 24 games in exhibition for the U18 team, followed by 12-36-48 with the club in the USHL in just 24 games.
