Late, but I don’t think so.
Hindsight is 20/20, obviously seeing how much he struggled this year, it probably would’ve made sense. If I was a Devils fan (and even as a Hawks fan, I feel this with Dach), Id be fine with Hughes struggling a bit now so the learning/developmental curve is less steep in the immediate future. If he went to college for 19-20, came in in 20-21 and struggled like he did this year, you lose a year of NHL level development and you’re right in this spot anyways. This way, he works on the stuff he’s bad at before refining what he’s good at and becomes more well-rounded sooner.
Idk maybe my assessment is wrong, but that’s how I see it
