Jack Hughes - C - U.S. National Team Development Program
Grade: A
Hughes will be an elite, top-line center for a very long time in the NHL. Him and Nico Hischier down the middle is scary. The Devils couldn’t mess this one up.
Kappo Kakko - RW - TPS [Liiga]
Grade: A
An easy consolation prize for the Rangers. Kakko will likely have a more immediate impact in the NHL. He’ll be a terrifying player to defend for years, too.
Kirby Dach - C - Saskatoon Blades [WHL]
Grade: A
Dach might grade out as the third-best player in this draft.
