Prospect Info: Luke Hughes (#4 overall)

[GameSeven]

Great pass. I don't think he'll end up getting the secondary. Looks to me like it hits the other Wolverine out front

According to the box score he has one apple on four Michigan goals tonight, at the end of two.

Still waiting for the correct official scoring. Only one of those is right and it may end up being Ciccolini from Lambert and Hughes.

Given the point totals in the box score, it looks like they are tallying the second stat line and not the first, so hoping it's Luke's first point.

Also, the site I was referring to said four goals at the end of two when it's really six.

So Michigan rolling in this one as you might expect.

I like this because it seems safe say that the foot laceration has had no long term effects based on those comment?

If I remember correctly, I thought you said you'd get the Big10 streaming to watch Luke, if that's the case and you're watching tonight, how does he look so far?

I didn't get Big 10 streaming yet. The whole Comcast/MSG thing threw me. So I am reconsidering what I am going to do for my service.

This game is exhibition. So the assist primary or secondary won't count anyway.

 

[Devs3cups]

Ended the game with 1 assist, 5 shots, 1 block, +3.

Michigan won 7-1.

Someone on Luke's team looks just like Jack, at first I was like what the hell is doing at the game:



Talk about your doppelganger.

Is that Kent Johnson?

Is that Kent Johnson?

Good call:

 

[MauDevils]

Who's the dude on the right?

Owen Power.

 

[The Wumpus]

It's Power, Kent Johnson isn't 6'6

 

[The 29th Pick]

Owen Power.

really? he looks like he grew a couple inches after he bought that suit
also looks like he's related to Austin Power(s) !

 

[Lou is God]

It's Power, Kent Johnson isn't 6'6

We're talking about the player on the left, Power's is on the right.

 

[JimEIV]

I don't think I would've drafted Power #1 overall. He strikes me as someone who is solid and will be very good but with not a big enough upside to have gone #1. You never know how someone is going to progress but that's just my impression of him.

I thought he was bigger, like more muscled and compacted, kinda shocked how lanky he is. This is really the first look at him outside his uniform for me, maybe his name gave me the wrong impression lol.

Exhibition?

Exhibition?

Yup! Not regular season yet.

 

[TBF1972]

If Shak pans out as well as Luke, we’ll be back in our glory days sooner than later. Much excite!

shak isn't the stevens type. okhotyuk could be a stevens type player. not sure if he is talented enough offensively tough.

I feel a little bit bad for Power since going #1 comes with higher expectations. If he had been a few months older, he'd probably have gone #3 or #4 in the 2020 Draft and he wouldn't be under the same microscope. Sorta reminds me of Aaron Ekblad's draft year, nobody thought he was a perennial Norris guy to the point where Florida GM Dale Tallon explored trading the pick (apparently ownership didn't approve). It's easy to say now that Leon Draisaitl should have gone first but lots of people were thinking Sam Reinhart or Sam Bennett had higher upside than Ekblad at the time. I still enjoy my beer league teammate / Flames fan telling me how Bennett was by far the best prospect in that draft.

Matty Beniers is a guy everybody would like to have but probably profiles more like a Bo Horvat / Ryan O'Reilly than a typical #1C. I think San Jose said they had Beniers ranked over Power for what it's worth. William Eklund and Kent Johnson have tantalizing skill but we'll see how they pan out. Hopefully Luke puts himself in that conversation over the next couple of years, we might have lucked out with him being injured for the U18s. Mason McTavish had a big tournament to vault himself to where he went.

Power was the right pick in my mind at #1. Hughes and Clarke might have a bit more upside, but Power has quite a bit of upside on his own as a 50+ point D who is a beast in his own zone and a match-up impossibility, while offering the highest floor of all 2021 draft-eligible D.
