Prospect Info: Jack Hughes II

[Setec Astronomy]

The McCaffreys (spelling?) are way ahead of them.

Lol, they seemed to have invented it.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Wait, wait, guys.

Is Jack Hughes actually 5'-10"? That seems to be his official listing.

If Kakko's officially listing of 6'-2" is accurate.. 4"? We're having this whole debate over 4" and 20lbs?

The jokes just write themselves. I’ll leave it at that.

4 inches is actually a lot. But yes the point you're trying to make is accurate. The size factor is nonsense. If anything, the game is evolving to favor the smaller, faster players. Being a smaller and quicker player, you tend to be more elusive.

The Hughes boys are an experiment in sports eugenics.

Just wait till' Zach & Julie Ertz have kids. Some college should sign their infants to letters-of-intent and figure out what sport(s) they'll play later.

The Hughes boys are Jewish from their mom... "eugenics" is not quite the greatest word to use for them.

If there comes a six foot four center that skates like the wind, has a nasty shot, is strong and agile, has great hockey sense..... well he's probably Mario Lemieux, who by all means you should probably be taking over the shorter and lighter guy.

I've been kvelling ever since I found that out.

For those of us who have been experiencing Hughes withdrawal..



Warning, Bowling Green has a bunch of guys in their early 20's. I.e. Men.

TBH, out of the amount of shift-by-shifts ive watched, this was one of Hughes worst games ive seen IMO.
I also believe he was playing hurt towards the end of 2018 but I could be wrong on that

Ya not a great performance. Though I think that was early this season. And he actually had a couple hits, and played on the PK a bit, so I'm doubting he was hurt in this game.

Just listening Craig Custance's The Full 60 podcast. Custance, Corey Pronman and Chris Peters (ESPN) are discussing about Jack Hughes. Peters thinks that there is 0 % chance that the Devils pick anyone else than Hughes. Pronman's percent was 20–25. I think it was Peters who said that the difference between Matthews and Laine was much smaller than it's between Hughes and Kakko.

Pronman also thought the Devils were taking Makar. I like his prospect reports but he’s not plugged into the NHL rumors.

Pronman didn’t give that percentage based on any inside information he had.

Re Makar, I don’t doubt that someone told him something, but it was probably designed to gauge trade interest.

Busy as he is, Jack found some time to prepare for his driving test

 

[Kurt Cobain]

That's actually not so new. It was stressed in the original article's comparison that it's a stylistic comparison, and that he'll likely surpass RNH.

The coffee I was drinking came out of my nose after reading that insane comment.. SMH.

to be fair, he’s not tall enough to see over the wheel, so he and ty smith were working the gas and brakes while zacha was steering. also, the trucks he hit belonged to men

"At 17 years old, Jack Hughes will become the youngest player ever to suit up for Team USA at the senior world championship."

"Jack Hughes will become the first U.S. player to appear in the U18 World Championship, World Junior Championship and Men's World Championship in the same season."

Source: Hughes, 17, commits to play for U.S.

 

[JimEIV]

Another cool thing USA is slated to play Finland May 13th the day before Hughes 18th birthday.

I am sure all eyes will be on that game.

 

[Devilswede]

Kinda cool that I and Jack Hughes share the same birthday...

You're only 17 years old?

Pronman also was the one major draft writer to rank Laine over Matthews. It's just how he rolls.

Hell yeah
