Jack Hughes has to deal with not only being the son of a National Hockey League general manager, but also with having the same name as a recent first overall pick and budding superstar.
It just so happens that the two teams most impacted by that are the two teams picking first and second overall in the 2022 NHL Draft, which also happens to be his draft year. What are the odds, right?
Although he’s not in the conversation for those two picks (despite a joking warning to the contrary), Hughes will likely be taken in the first two rounds, and is a talented prospect on the ice.
