Boom! Nice end to a horrid box! Congrats on the huge pull. Hopefully Jack will catch up to Quinn.

Jack needs the same talent around him that Quinn has.

Now, clearly I'm biased because I just pulled the Jack Hughes Young Gun and want it to be a good card (LOL), but the thing to remember is that he is 19 years old.
I mean, he can't even legally buy a beer for two more years ... think about that.
I just saw a story about him where he's been lifting weights all offseason to bulk up to be able to battle for the puck better.
Can't be a bad thing, right?
Granted, some guys come into the league and light it up from Day One (Crosby, McDavid, etc.), but we're talking a miniscule percentage.
Most guys take a couple of years to fully realize their path to stardom, and I can't imagine the pressure on a teenage kid to be the face of a pro sports franchise.
I think this guy will be fine!

I have no question about his talent. I am more worried about the Devils as an organization being able to put a solid team around him for him to be as successful as his brother will be with the Canucks.

I always like it when I pull a huge hit in the first few packs, because then the rest of the box just feels like a bonus.
But glad it worked out!
