He one-touches passes, can saucer and hook pucks through layers, uses the middle lane, and baits pressure in the slot so he can distribute to open wings. Efficient handler on-puck; likes to deke to the backhand to beat F1s and other forecheckers. Hughes scans transitionally constantly and harrasses neutral zone puck carriers. He shadows on activations and his pressure forces errors like bad passes. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
