Based on his draft position and pre-NHL hype.
Most interesting thing about Hughes is how many "reputable" people in NHL media mentioned him as near Patrick Kane. That was laughable, as I said at the time. Even if it was only 10% of analysts that believed this....that's 10% too many.
Always thought Barzal was the best comparable and I didn't/don't mean that as a negative.
Patrick Kane was 8 months older than Jack and never played an NHL game as young as Jack will play his entire season.
