I am a little bothered by what the only media member allowed into the room where the numbers were drawn reported. Everybody in the room had to stay there until the actual announcement - BUT TWO PEOPLE DID LEAVE
Inside the 2019 NHL Draft Lottery Room - Sportsnet.ca
Ten teams in the running for the No. 1 pick didn’t have anybody in attendance in that room on Tuesday. “People don’t want to be locked in here for one and a half hours,” Bettman said, although he preferred the set-up on Tuesday compared to previous Lottery rooms he’d been locked in. “It’s a little nicer than the room last year,” he said, with special mention of the fancy brick wallpaper, which he called “the brick façade.”
The commissioner and his grandson had already left the room before the top three picks were announced on TV.
Another thing - in past years Daly had to open an envelope for each pick - this year all he did was flip the card to the camera

I have seen highlights of both Hughes and Kakko. My thoughts.
With Hughes, I see a game-changing highly skilled playmaker who skates around the ice as if it were a circus. So dynamic. Generates tons of chances for himself and his teammates. An all-around offensive machine.
With Kakko, I see a speedy winger, that plays well around the net. Has an average shot. Hustles on every play. Most of his scoring seems to come off opportunistic bounces.
I just see Hughes as a clearly (tier above) better all around player.
