So Devils fans Tyce Thompson is currently our best prospectHow we feel

What happened to ty smith?

Ty Smith is really good but Tyce Thompson is 2nd in scoring in the NCAA and leading the goal scoring category

Pretty good, because you have Ty Smith & Jack Hughes.

(Even if Kakko's better)

It means nothing until one of the 4 breaks they have a season and all teams are at the same amount of games player .

NCAA operates scheduling around class with school coming first as opposed to Canadian junior where many leave school to focus on hockey and home school . NCCA prospects as a result are rarely prepared to jump to the NHL directly because they arent prepared to play 10 months a year with few breaks. That would be almost barable if they played a real playoff format instead of the round robin non sense.

before the break Caufield was tied with 6 guys for 2nd with 1 goal less then Thompson&Co .
behind Thompson,Madden , Wilkie and Leonard who were tied for first in goals scored


Thompsons good but lets be real , of the top 10 NCAA goal scorers maybe 3 will make the NHL , another 4-5 will make the AHL and 1-2 will leave for europe like most NCAA top 10 goal scorers (look at the last 3 years of NCAA goal scorers stats and look at where most of them are now )

Same Production rate offensive but in less games and the edge defensively goes to Hughes as does . Opponents score more when Kakko's on ice then if Hughes is .
A Center who scores goals as consitently as a Winger praised for his goal scoring acumen will add value that confirms Hughes >Kakko
