For those who were wondering if New Jersey Devils rookie Jack Hughes is going to be a phenomenal player, he is. This first season is merely a test drive of what will be his brilliance in the NHL. Now, he is not showing the progress of past number-one overall picks but that is okay. The reason being is the support group around him is underperforming. Wayne Simmonds is half the player he used to be. Miles Wood had a very good season and a half two years ago and not much since.
Jack Hughes is the type of player who can dish it to someone who can the send the puck home or get set up when opportunity is presented.
