  1. Crosby scored 99 points in his rookie season and Ovi scored 106. I'm a Devils fan but Hughes and Kakko aren't close to that caliber. I'd be surprised if either guy breaks 60.

  2. Jack Hughes basking in the media, while Kakko is relatively quiet. They also ignored each other and didn't talk after the draft.

  3. Hughes talked about "adjusting" to the NHL, but deflected what he had to work on … Kakko said I must get stronger. Ironically Kakko is already a bull, we saw that at the WC … Hughes is a lightweight. I think Hughes is going to take longer to reach his peak.

  4. I'm a Rangers fan but I like this kid and I hope the best for him, with many years of a gripping Kappo-Hughes rivalry. But this has to be the youngest looking draft pick ever, this guy looks like a boy band singer instead of NHL superstar. I've seen highlight vids of him though and kid can muthaf***in' SKATE.

  5. Jack Hughes.

    His early work was a little too new wave for my taste.

    But when he was drafted, he really came into his own, commercially and artistically.

    I have to return some video tapes.

  6. The way the NHL draft is set up is a joke, the Devils get two number one picks in 3 years, that makes no sense. The worst team should get the first pick, like the NFL, But what do you expect from the guy that single handedly destroyed the NHL. Bettman sucks.

  7. so skinny and tiny players! do nhl need biggers fowards? or he not are right time in home when mom make foods 😀 Overall i can say kaapo and other player can be much better than that tiny hugness

  8. I love both players (regardless of who went 1 and 2) and they will make for great hockey in years to come – can’t wait to see them both excel. Lucky lucky guys.

  9. all these C sucker rangers fans jelly that Jersey can have an actual fuckin interview with their draft pick LOL..dudes gunna be C of the USA team down the road. blow us.

  10. Not acknowledging that he needs to improve his strength was a little strange. It looked pretty easy to get him off the puck in WC. You could tell that he has only been playing juniors.

  11. Calm and collected, cool and casual. Bodes well for Hughes, not your nervously excited yeah yeah kid.

  12. After what we just saw with the Devils besting the Rangers in 7:
    Hughes legit superstar.
    Kakko decent player.

    They are not even close now.
