Jack Hughes

Hughes provided 27 goals and 70 points across 62 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, making it his fourth straight campaign with over 25 goals and the third consecutive time he’s hit the 70-point mark. Still, Hughes’ full potential has been held back due to injuries. For the second straight season, he finished the year on the shelf, this time because of a shoulder injury that required surgery. The good news is Hughes should still be fine for the start of training camp, but given that the 24-year-old has reached the 70-game mark just once over his first six seasons, counting on him to stay healthy is a risky bet. Under ideal circumstances, Hughes has a chance to flirt with the 40-goal and 100-point marks, but it’s safer to pencil him in for 70-80 points. Read Past Outlooks
