Luke Hughes offers late-round upside as a primary offensive distributor on New Jersey's blue line

At 23 years old, Luke Hughes enters the season firmly established as a primary puck-moving asset for the Devils. Over the past three campaigns, Hughes has logged heavy ice time, averaging over 21 minutes per night in two of those seasons, while posting between 35 and 47 points each year and driving offense from the back end.

Hughes paired a career-best 149 shots on goal with 35 points last season, demonstrating reliable offensive involvement despite a modest physical profile that yields under 25 hits and roughly 50 to 60 blocks annually. Our models project 35 points, 150 shots on goal, and 13 power-play points over 68 games, reflecting a stable baseline with power-play scoring upside.

With an ADP hovering around 200, Hughes lands in the late-round defenseman tier, offering an affordable path to blue-line scoring. If he captures top-unit power-play duties, his point ceiling easily outpaces his draft-day cost, making him an excellent upside target to round out fantasy defense corps.
