Luke Hughes A Fit For The Wings

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

Size: 6-feet-2, 184 pounds.

Like his brothers, Hughes is supremely skilled; he’s a smooth skater with soft hands and a phenomenal passer with high-IQ vision. He’s stealthy and nimbly able to poke the puck away from an opponent. He has the ability to dart with the puck like Quinn, deftly avoiding defenders to create a scoring opportunity. He also has a great shot, and loves to use it. He needs to improve his decision-making on the defensive side, but that should come as he develops.
