October edition of 2019 NHL Draft Rankings from Craig Button

USA Hockey National Team Development Program centre Jack Hughes remains the clear top prospect in the early season addition of Craig’s List ahead of the 2019 NHL Draft, with Finnish right winger Kaapo Kakko jumping up to become the new No. 2.

Jack and Quinn on the same team would be unreal

anybody picking in the top 10 should be thrilled. great draft.

[brandonwilley]

Podkolzin I have a feeling will be the steal of this draft class undoubtedly

[htoor]

Kappo kakko might challenge Hughes, it's not as clear cut as button thinks it is.

All I have to say is, Kotkanemi played against men last year and he is arguably the biggest surprise of the draft taken at #3. All the analysts had him much later than that in the first round. Kakko will be similar to Kotkanemi draft wise, with alot more raw talent. The 2019 draft is going to be very interesting

I said it a year ago, and I'll say it now. Detroit is winning the Jack Hughes sweepstakes

Crazy to think that I used to party with Dylan cozens when he lived back in Whitehorse

[kiepyon]

i would love to see top 5 goalie get pick in lottery

[FAKEMD]

Jack Hughes to DET
Damn it Rangers...

[joeoliveri]

Kaliyev is too low tbh, he should be a top 5 pick if he keeps it up

[tragically.rachel]

There's no magnificent behind him... Geez that's rough

[jeffmontville]

Redwings going to get a good pick in 2019, there horrible this year...

[teigetsu]

Sorry, but I don't see it with Hughes. The kid is a terrific skater skating circles around defenders and passing the puck well, but... his shot is very weak and goes all over the place, by far the worst of any 'top' pick I've seen. I don't see a killer instinct or a cutting edge. There is no physical game from what I can tell, and so on. However, he is an American and he 'makes his team mates better' which is obvious since he is skating well in a handpicked setup. Too much hype I'm afraid. If I had the top pick I would be extremely careful and thorough in my evaluation of Hughes. If he doesn't go number 1 where does he go in the draft? He could fall a fair bit if you look past the hype.

Hopefully the kings get him we need some young in our rosters
