What if Kent Hughes was about to acquire the perfect complement to play with Juraj Slafkovsky, Kirby Dach, Nick Suzuki, and Cole Caufield in his top-6?
Ranked the third best prospect in North America, the big center from the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Western Junior League has so far scored 46 points, including 27 goals in 32 games this season and he has caught the eye of many NHL scouts.
Some of them even compare him to Quinton Byfield of the Los Angeles Kings, who is having his breakout year. However, it is still unknown where the Canadiens will finish in the standings but it is very likely that the organization will hold a pick between the fifth and seventh.
