Corey Pronman’s assessment of Luke Hughes’ World Juniors tournament: “You ride the wave with Hughes. For most of the tournament, he was an elite transition player whose skating and skill took over shifts. He plays a risky style, the mistakes look glaringly bad with him and at times his defensive play was lackadaisical.” [The Athletic ($)]
