It's a 1 and 1A situation atop most team's draft boards. If you wouldn't take Jack Hughes first overall, you'd definitely take Kaapo Kakko.
Hughes, an American-born center, seems to have a slight edge. He shattered the points record at the U.S. National Team Development Program held by current Coyotes forward Clayton Keller, and he also beat Alex Ovechkin's U18 World Championship points record.
But Kakko might be more NHL-ready than Hughes right now. Kakko has spent parts of the last two seasons playing professionally in Finland's top league.
