GP Doesn't quite reach Hughes' lofty numbers, but pretty similar- and Hughes went first overall. I think many will be surprised by where GP goes this upcoming draft. Hughes is a C, a more important position, whereas Perrault is a RW. Biggest difference is the skating- Hughes had elite speed, while GP has room to grow in that area.

9. Gabe Perrault
"Gabe Perrault is not the biggest, or fastest, but his skill, vision, and IQ are all elite. His stats in this, his draft year, are pretty comparable to those of Jack Hughes'. The main difference between the 2 players, other than Hughes playing the more important C position, is the skating- Hughes has always been elite, while GP has room for improvement in that area. GP is also not as good a defensive player as he could be. He's another guy who's equally goal-scorer as he is playmaker IMO, as he shoots a lot, but he's an amazing passer-he finds the seams just as good as anybody. His shooting arsenal is vast, and he can beat goalies in a number of ways. I think he might be a riser on Draft day."For comparison:
