SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS
The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
T.J. Hughes is an undrafted forward who, through nine games this season, has shown flashes of scoring instinct with two goals, hinting at a pure finisher's mentality. While his ice time is still developing, his offensive output in a limited role suggests a player who can find the back of the net when given the opportunity, making him one to watch for potential breakout moments.
