The Real JT
The crowd called out for more
Today’s fun fact which I suspect many of you already know.
Before the Caps selected Cole Hutson with the 11th pick of the second round in the 2024 draft there were five other defensemen chosen in that round before him including the Sabres who picked a Dman immediately before the Hutson selection.
Btw the Caps also chose Ryan Leonard in the first round of the 2023 draft.
Sometimes quality players fall into your lap depending on how the draft goes (e.g Eiserman), but when it is all said and done, nothing beats a great scouting department…. Oh, and picks. It helps to hold onto those too.
