Hughes Talks About Keefe's Hiring Ahead of Training Camp

In a recent interview with NHL.com, New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes shared his thoughts on his newly hired head coach, Sheldon Keefe.

Hughes was asked about if he's looking forward to having some time to talk with Keefe when training camp starts on Sept 18.

"I’m excited to get to New Jersey and pick his brain (in person) and figure some things out,"

Hughes also mentioned Keefe's track record of coaching big named players in a large market like Toronto.

"Watching with Nylander, Matthews and Marner, he did a really good job in Toronto over the 5 years,"

"We're lucky that he sees a vision with us. I think we're confident in him, and hopefully, it's going to be a good relationship between our team and him, and we're really excited for him."

As one of the leaders on the team, Hughes has voiced his excitement for the hiring of Keefe and how he feels the team could use this boost.

This should be an indication that the rest of the Devils roster feels the same way about Keefe's hiring.
