I think Hughes' success depends a lot on whether or not he centers Taylor Hall's line. If he does, and he plays top PP, he'll be over 55 points, easily. I'm thinking 20G and 40A for 60 points. Kakko is the better goal scorer. He'll be top 3 on the Rangers in goals, probably behind Mika and Kreider. I'm thinking 27G and 25A for 52 points. This is all assuming Hughes goes to the Devils at #1. If the Devils take Kakko, his numbers could be higher if he plays w/ Taylor Hall and Nico on the top line. Either way, it's a great year to be picking top 2 overall.
