Would you say it's a fact if he hadn't. The reality is Family heights are all over the place.

My brother is 6'2, I'm 5'10 my dad was 5'8
My cousin is 6'4, his brother is 5'8 his dad is 5'6

Just because your brother and father are taller and grew at an age doesn't mean that you will. If we drafted hutson because we hoped he grow and not what we thought he'd be if he stayed the same height then yeah our drafting needs to be given a shake.

With that said hope he can get to 5'11 because we'd have an Adam Fox situation on our hands for sure.

I guess the real scientific metric they would’ve perhaps put weight into was bone scans, backed by the fact his brother also had a growth spurt.

Ultimately the Habs gambled on him and so far it’s paying off. I wanted Hutson as early as the Beck pick, the fact that all the other teams passed on him is criminal right now.

He won't. He's almost done growing.
 
I mean, forget about the bone report and the family history, a look at his face pre-draft would tell you that he still has some growing to do (I’m talking about his Hockey DB picture pre the one he has right now)

I was a very late bloomer, late puberty the whole thing. 140 when I graduated 5'10", 155 when I got married at 23 6'1". 200 at 30, 225 at 40 and 250 now at 63. A little portly now though. :rolleyes: Some people are just late to the party. Anyway he is an exciting player and I am interested to see how it shakes out as he moves up in levels.

Remember when there was no evidence whatsoever that Hutson could grow ? Constitutional delay in both his first degree male relatives and himself having a bone scan confirming it. But yeah, no chance whatsoever,

Is there anything controversial about bone plates?

Not to be a dick but I cannot believe we've had this many posts about his tall he is as if it matters at all.

His arms length are disproportionate with the rest of his body, he can still grow one inch taller below the waist.

Whenever I saw him on the ice he didn't seem prohibitively small. He has to get faster and work on the D from what I've seen.

Not being excited about him is silly. It was kind of like the Caufield critics. Like there comes a point where a kid just has way too much talent.

Hutson being a D though is a bit different. If he can take that Caufield like leap in his skating and shoring up the rest of his game, we'll have an absolute stud. This year he dominated on a near historic level. Next year will be telling though if he makes the adjustments or not
