More on LAK pick Jack Hughes from trusted NHL scout:

Highly competitive, defining trait along w/high hockey sense & skill. Played top two role last yr as one of youngest in NCAA. Needs to work on strength/quickness, but makes a ton of plays & contributes on both sides of puck.

— The Mayor | John Hoven (@mayorNHL) July 8, 2022

SCOUTING REPORTS

From McKeen’s:

A lot of Hughes’ issues stem from him not yet being physically developed, even for a late born 2003 player. He is still quite slight and because of this, he is not consistently able to take advantage of the opportunities that his skill level could afford him. He can be easily pushed off the puck, especially when attacking the middle. However, Hughes’ does show terrific flashes of being able to extend plays with his feet and hands, and when he does get time and space, he shows his skill as a playmaker and a topflight offensive play driver

From Elite Prospects:

Jack Hughes, a freshman at Northeastern, more than held his own this season against the older competition. He showed that he could also play that structured game, that he could reload to a defensive position ahead of offensive turnovers, fill the right role on the backcheck, and apply pressure on the forecheck.

From Future Considerations:

Jack Hughes is a gifted facilitator of the puck with strong offensive awareness making him a fun player to watch when he has the puck on his stick in the offensive zone. The biggest asset in his game is his passing ability and there’s no question about that.
