The 2019 NHL draft saw the New Jersey Devils end the intrigue by selecting superslick American center Jack Hughes with the No. 1 pick.

That made it easy for the New York Rangers with the No. 2 pick, as they selected rapidly rising right wing Kaapo Kakko with the No. 2 pick.

Playing just miles apart in Newark, New Jersey, and Manhattan, New York, Hughes vs. Kakko could develop into a rivalry that is similar to the one that Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin have had over the years. Ovechkin was the No. 1 draft pick in 2004, while Crosby occupied that same slot one year later.

The Devils are counting on Hughes to give them a player who can be dynamic with the puck because of his ability to hold on to it in the offensive zone until he can create his own shot or set up a teammate with a legitimate scoring opportunity.

Kakko is also an excellent skater, but he is a big man who can go into the corners and win puck battles. He has a superb shot and looks like he should be an excellent goal scorer right from the start.

Hughes has been compared to Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks, while Kakko could be similar to countryman Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets since both are powerful goal scorers.

Hughes was the first member of the United States National Development Team, and he was joined by eight other teammates who were drafted in the first round.

This goal by Hughes highlights his skill, quickness and creativity. It went a long way towards earning him that No. 1 draft status.

While the first two picks were all but assured for months, the Chicago Blackhawks had their choice of top defenseman Bowen Byram, center Alex Turcotte and Kirby Dach.

The expectation was that they would select Byram because they clearly need quality defensemen, but the Blackhawks selected Dach, a tall, rangy center with excellent skating ability, a solid scoring touch and a strong 200-foot game.

Byram went with the fourth pick to the Colorado Avalanche, while the offensive-minded Turcotte was selected by the Los Angeles Kings.
