Kaapo Kakko, the best and most complete winger available in this year’s draft, may challenge for the first overall selection spot. I know that Jack Hughes is who the Vancouver Canucks would have their eyes on if they traded up for the first overall pick, but the Devils may be interested in taking Kakko with their first overall pick.
