Smurf.Period
Habs continue tradition of finding the smallest player available.
Imagine Mete part 2 but even shitier

This guy Googled his name when he saw the Habs drafted him, saw his height, then made this post.

How proving you never watch Hutson without saying it

People really need to stop mentioning Makar when talking about this guy. He basically “plays like Makar” at 1/2 the speed and explosiveness, which in reality, is nothing like Makar because those are his defining attributes. If Makar didn’t have that speed and explosiveness, his game wouldn’t work at the NHL level.

I wanted the Habs to pick him more than anyone, but let’s be realistic. My hope for him is basically Torey Krug. If he becomes similar to that, we are golden.

Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey play like Makar. No active NHL player does.

Ya lucky Pierre knows everything.He's been pining to get back to the NHL for 20 years .Gets a gig with the Sens and they fire him before 1 year is done.Also TSN has to get the draft back .Sportsnet are awful.

It’s been a number of years now the SN has covered the draft, but I still can’t get acclimated to Cosentino and others, instead of Bob McKenzie etc.

It’s because the TSN productions were superior in every way. Sportsnet manages to make you feel like you’re watching some obscure local coverage of high school sports.

Makar's game would work on IQ alone.

Yes. That’s exactly what it’s like!! Thank you. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but that sums it up perfectly.

Verdict: massive W even if we draft Steven Seagal in 2024

Yeah I doubt it. There are guys with Makar’s IQ. Makar is special because of the plays his skating allows him to make.

 

[26Mats]

He really plays like Makar

Not sure how it works out as its rare to have it translate but in terms if raw skill and hockey sense, its off the charts

If he's a defensive liability, maybe he can play as a bottom 6 winger and a PP QB?

 

[Deebs]

He's special because he's great at every aspect of the game of hockey

Hutson is pretty good defensively it might just not translate as good in the NHL though because he's smaller

Yes. That's what I'm referencing.

Every one at the NHL level is great at every aspect. Makar’s skating and related attributes are what he’s head and shoulders above everyone else at (except McDavid). There are guys with comparable IQ, passing, guys with better defense, better shots. This isn’t debatable lol. Unless you’re saying Makar is the best at every single aspect, which is quite obviously false.

The best thing about this kid is to forget him for 2-3 years, Let him develop in University but my little Christal ball tells me that if he can grow another 2 inches and develop is strength and explosiveness that he will be the steel of this draft.

Hutson is going to make a lot of GMs bang their head off their desk in the future.

I’m super super high on this kid. His hockey IQ is great, he has great skating and he moves the puck exceptionally well. Like you said, you let this kid marinate in the NCAA for 2-3 years and look out. He likely grows to be 5’11” when it’s all said and done based on his genetics.

I wanted him or Firkus at 26, so yeah I like him. Lol

 

[Seb]

I hope he gets the growth spurt I never had the chance to have.

I believe in your body my sweet prince.

 

[SlafySZN]

 

[Frank JT]

Good bet for us at this rank. Hope he can grow at least a inch or two.

 

[NewDef]

Frankie the Bouillon Cube!!

Was about to comment Bouillon was 5'8" too and was nowhere as dynamic and such a great passer but he had a good career. If he can grow another inch or 2, gain a good 20 pounds and keep that fire inside, daaamn.... playing with an Edmunson type, he could be reeally good. Nice swing there hugo, might connect and fwiiiiiii, hit the scoreboard.

Frankie the Bouillon Cube!!

Cube was a brick house haha. I don’t think Hutson’s frame goes there. Marty’s thighs can also bring some orientation to our new D prospect.

Even if he can be our wish.com Makar, I’ll take it.
