In 2019, Jack Hughes was selected first overall in the NHL draft, just ahead of Kaapo Kakko and Kirby Dach. His early career wasn't always smooth, but he has developed well and is now part of the NHL elite, notably with a 99-point season last year.
Drafted first overall in 2022, Juraj Slafkovsky isn't there yet, as he has three fewer years of experience in the NHL. However, his progression curve is remarkably similar to Hughes'.
In 92 career games, both players have exactly the same number of points. Slafkovsky has one more goal, and Hughes has one more assist.
No, it doesn't mean that Slafkovsky will be as productive as Hughes, but he has the potential to become a star in his own way, developing into a well-rounded player with an imposing physical presence.
