Hutson named top 3 player for US

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, the USA coach seems to love Hutson. He had him out there defending the 6 on 4, and frankly Hutson did a great job net front. It's all about body position and defending sticks when you're smaller.

 

[Andrei79]

Hutson taller than Brindley confirmed.

Growth velocity indicates he will catch Gauthier soon. Very, very soon.

Gave away the puck though, which is completely unacceptable for any player, at any time. Especially if 160lbs.

GO SWEDEN!!!!

He had an awesome PK shift in the 3rd period too

 

[Whalers Fan]

Well
Hopefully the coach is just doing a rotation
So hopefully we get to see Fowler in the final
Smart thinkin coach!

Not a chance.

USA - Sweden for Gold will be a good one.

Finland vs Czech Republic for Bronze.

They have to. He has been their best guy today. No homerism!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

yes, that is what will happen, but still not what I would do. I'm ok with him dominating. I just want him strong when he hits the pro level.

Would there be less injury risk for a small, frail player in the AHL than the NHL? Maybe. But I'd still rather not take the chance. Would rather him stay in the NCAA.

I'm not worried. Hutson knows how to protect himself. He has amazing escapability. He'll take far less hits than Barron does.

Well it’s time for him to bring up his level of play against a stronger opponent.

 

[Redux91]

Not a chance.

No?
I'm on it!

 

[Andrei79]

Hutson is pretty good. Pretty, pretty good. He might even be good enough to be a Leafs prospect.

 

[HomaridII]

Hutson with the highest TOI after 2 periods with 15:35

But he sucks.

He has taken that role at BU all season. Anybody who bothers to watch knows he is relied upon by ALL his coaches for his defensive play as well, but let’s shout the narrative that he can’t play defense. He is the best defenseman for BU overall and the best for team USA overall and will make the team of the tournament, but he can’t play defense and won’t make the nhl.

Lane Hutson is ELITE !

 

[Kennerback]

Hutson’s offense is off the chart, but the guy needs to get so much heavier and stronger.
