Fifteen goals in the Devils’ past 14 games is more of an attention-grabber, so indeed are the 26 goals Hughes has recorded in 29 games since Thanksgiving.
But even these stats don’t quite tell the story of how special of a season the 21-year-old Hughes is having across the Hudson for— and yes, they have earned that designation ahead of the second-year Kraken.
And he has been at the forefront of his team’s 8-1-1 snapback following a 3-8-2 slide to provide the Devils with a 12-point playoff cushion after having failed to get an invite to the ball nine times in the past 10 years.Well, then how about this? If we appropriate Newark to become part of NHL New York, just as we do with East Rutherford to represent NFL New York, then Jack Hughes is having the best season of any 21-and-under athlete on a New York team since Doc Gooden in 1985.
But it wouldn’t seem possible that the Devils could have both Meir and Jesper Bratt on the roster next season unless the team transforms to a Toronto- or Rangers-type model that would feature multiple players above the $7.5 million AAV threshold. Would GM Tom Fitzgerald and executive VP of hockey ops Martin Brodeur be willing to go all-in on a rental for Meier? Do they think the Devils are close enough that a pricey reinforcement or two could put them over the top in a matchup with Boston, Carolina, Toronto or Tampa Bay?
