Hughes is 23 and signed for 6 more years until he's 29.
So that's pretty much their current window that they'd be aiming for.
Does 10oth oa or Markstrom have more impact over the course of the 6 years?
Hard to say but I don't think it's as simple as you made it.

A 10 OA pick is atleast 2-3 years from making the show. Their position of need is goaltending. I mean if they're going to pick a goalie at that point, it's a valid argument. A top NHL goaltender is going to push the envelope a lot further than another forward or dman 3 years from now. Keep in mind Devils are loaded at forward and defence already. Law of large numbers. Any further player at those positions would be incremental improvement at best.
