The Junior Championship will go a long way to determine who the #1 will be. Kakko has been playing against men in Finland's top league so I think the transition to the NHL won't be as difficult for him. Going right from the USNTDP to NHL is quite a jump. I mean is Jack Hughes really in the Auston Matthews or Jack Eichel echelon? Consensus 1st picks are expected to have an immediate impact.

So much of the talk about the first few picks of this draft remind me of when the Habs chose the more physically dominant and mature Doug Wickenheiser over the smaller but incredibly gifted Denis Savard.
Didnt turn out well for them.

?? I'm probably going to regret this, but what do Jews smell like? And remember, no one left here will be triggered if you are honest. Burning flesh?
Chemical Showers?
I just learnt Jack Hughes actually IS jewish. The Hawks really do have to get him now, just for the jokes. With Hughes as the Hawks biggest star, they should introduce new third jerseys to penetrate the worldwide market:

Why? I think it's about time we get a Jewish superstar to lead us to the promised land.
The one who will part the seas. The prince that was promised, if you will.

Lick a bumhole in order to draft the kid from Orlando.Hawks are back to being 30th in the league (in pts-%): www.tankathon.com/nhlWhat's funny is that Ottawa holds the 31st spot, and they don't have their pick. I'd almost give up on Jack Hughes just to see the reaction in Ottawa if they win the lottery.

Considering division rival Colorado has the Sens' pick, I'd prefer that "hilarious" scenario not happen.

I agree with whomever said (pez i think) Hughes just doednt seem to have that buzz or jump to his dame when you watch him.
Not saying he may not be great, just that I dont get the same vibe from watching him that I did from McD or Kane or guys like that when they were young.

Hawks currently with the third worst record. These World Junior Champs make me horny (/Wohlwend) and I really want them to draft in the top 2. I need Hughes or Kakko.
But the next game is against the Penguins again, and that's a guaranteed 2pt game.
