Weak draft. Hughes will go first and Kakko second for sure, which of them will be better is a whole different question. Also Byram could prove to be the best player of this draft.
I don't think it's weak at all and I don't see Byram being better than Hughes or Kakko. He has number 1 D potential but he isn't a Doughty level talent.Weak draft.

Hughes/Kakko are superior prospects to Patrick/Hischier, so I can't say that I agree with your comparison. I also don't see Byram on the same level as Heiskanen as a prospect, either.I think this is more the Hischier-Patrick-Heiskanen situation than Stamkos and Doughty, that being the case maybe Byram doesn't have to reach so high spheres in order to be the best. The drafts also had Karlsson and Pettersson, though.

It has been widely regarded as a better than average draft, with two better than average 1-2 picks.
I guess I value Hughes/Kakko a bit higher than yourself then? I know you don't have either in your top 3, oddly enough.I think the point was that the talent at the top of this draft is bunched up. There is no McDavid. There's not even a Dahlin, Matthews or Eichel. It'll be a matter of which similar level talent develops the best.

I view Hughes as having a similar upside to Eichel and Kakko having a bit more upside than Svechnikov.Which of those players do Hughes or Kakko stack up to? Do you think they are comparable to McDavid? Dahlin? Eichel? Matthews?

Not really sure where this ”selfish Kakko” shit has come from. Half the season he overpassed it and once he starts scoring he’s selfish?Hughes. He has top iq in my eyes.
Hockey is getting faster and faster so you need good head and skating.
Hughes got both.
Kakko is impressive, but dont see him as good as his game seems to selfish at this point and those macig passes are missing
Though I am sure both will have good career If not injured.
Hughes 75+ player. Kakko 60-75pts.
And, they might be better or worse
On those about 15 games I have seen he has been quite selfish.Not really sure where this ”selfish Kakko” **** has come from. Half the season he overpassed it and once he starts scoring he’s selfish?
Yea I think he hangs on to the puck for long, but I think it’s because he always wants to give that perfect backdoor pass and doesn’t play it simple. Could be IQ, but I think it’s most likely the mentality of a skilled juniorOn those about 15 games I have seen he has been quite selfish.
It could be junior stupidity or he just does not see openings for passes, aka lack of top hockey iq.
Maby you dont see it?
Hope so.Yea I think he hangs on to the puck for long, but I think it’s because he always wants to give that perfect backdoor pass and doesn’t play it simple. Could be IQ, but I think it’s most likely the mentality of a skilled junior
