6 years agoThe New Jersey Devils selected center Jack Hughes with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft on Friday. He joins Nico Hischier (2017) as a top overall selection by the Devils. Hughes starred for the United States U18 National Team, posting 12 goals, 48 points and a plus-17 rating across just 24 games during USHL play. Hughes has a chance to step right into the lineup in Newark and make an instant impact on a young, up-and-coming team. He is a first-round pick in long-term keeper fantasy pools, with middle-round value in seasonal redraft leagues.--Daniel Dobish
