Ferraro talking about Europeans playing college hockey and having to "fight through the language"

Dude, it's English. It's the EASIEST language out there. I speak 6 and the other 4 (aside from my own language) were a lot harder

Kakko is clearly the better player at the moment. The Devils dont have the luxury of waiting on Hughes and his sky high ceiling. They need to be a playoff team this season to prove to Hall they're for reals or else he is leaving.

Devils might just be a better team in 2019 with Kakko then Jack..

It's a short sighted decision but that is the Devils reality at the moment without a commitment from Hall or if they're OK with risking putting themselves in a Tavares/NYI situation

I doubt they are dumb enough to take what they believe is a lesser player because "they don't have the luxury of waiting." They aren't a contender next year anyway so what does it matter if Hughes takes a year or two to bulk up?

You know what makes Hall walk? Not getting to play with his buddy Jack Hughes

Hall isn't waiting a year or two. That definitely has to be a factor.

Yeah, that's the thing that solidifies it for me. I think they had every intention of drafting Hughes when they won the pick. I don't think they'll change their mind based on this tournament.

Devils and Hughes: Lots of ties
Rangers and Kakko: Lots of ties

Devils and Kakko: 0
Rangers and Hughes: Some ties at least (Drury, Skjei, Fox, Kreider)

Devils and Kakko is the worst match out of the 4 possible outcomes
