  1. Aaron Huglen, RW, Fargo-USHL

March 6, 2001 | 5-foot-11 | 165 pounds

Skating: 55
Puck Skills: 65
Physical Game: 40
Hockey Sense: 60

Huglen started the season in the USHL before heading to play high school at Roseau where he was a Mr. Hockey candidate in Minnesota. He finished the season strong back in the USHL with Fargo. He’s a high skill/high IQ forward and is one of the most purely skilled players that will get picked outside of the first round. Huglen has quick-twitch hands and can make defenders look foolish with his fakes and dekes. He makes plays around defenders at a quick pace and is dangerous on the attack. He was a regular on the highlight reel at the high school level. He’s a fantastic playmaker who flashed elite vision on some very creative passes throughout the season. He skates well. It’s not explosive speed, but Huglen has a clean stride, good edgework and gets above-average speed through the neutral zone. Off the puck, he’s just OK. He’s physically underdeveloped and can struggle to win puck battles but doesn’t shy away from the crease area. He didn’t play amazingly at the USHL or at the Hlinka Gretzky, raising some concerns if the talent will translate to higher levels, but the raw talent is significant.

Hey, if he does it at the age mitts did, I will be very happy with him.

Perfect, in the mean time, I'll be approaching my 60's, a fan of the team since it's inception in to the league, still waiting for a Stanley Cup. Sounds like a great plan from where I'm sitting.

Pronman says this kid has the highest upside of any player taken outside the first round.

You can find two twitter accounts for this kid (one that he hasn’t tweeted from since 2015) and every single tweet is about hockey or god. This kid absolutely adores the game of hockey. He’s going to work his ass off.

I’ll definitely remember this pick and keep an eye on him over time.

Remember when we rushed things and brought in Kane, Bogosain, ROR and Lehner?   Good times, we got all the way up to 8th last, followed by last overall.   Let’s do this the right way, this time
