New Jersey Devils: 5 Career Comparable’s For Jack Hughes
Patrick Kane:
During Jack Hughes’ draft season, many pundits and Devils fans always thought of Hughes as a Patrick Kane 2.0. What that means is Jack has the height, weight, and similar if not better skill set. He has that “swagger dagger” kind of energy that he brought to Team USA Hockey’s national and developmental programs. Although Patty Kane came from the OHL’s London Knights, Hughes on the other hand is going from the USHL to the NHL.
Patrick Kane has been known to be one of the best forwards in today’s NHL. The smarts, stick handling, creativity, the smoothness, skating, and the hockey sense breaks a lot of opponents over the years being such a clutch playmaker. Both these players have those intangibles.
If we looked 12 seasons into Kane’s career, he hit 938 points. 78.16 or 79 points if you yield it to the next point is what Jack Hughes needs to hit per season. 1,044 points is a perfect floor for Jack Hughes since the median number we’re talking about is 87 points on average for a season. The net of average points vs. Kane is eight points profit.
