I'm in the minority. I do NOT think Hutson is ready now. I think he needs a year of AHL. Evidence...none of the highlights you guys are posting show any defense. Hope I'm wrong.
“Ready now” means he plays next year at the earliest IMO. I think it’s a tough ask of the kid.

Skill is there, the frame isn’t.
 
Caps are going to have a tough decision here shortly. Hutson could be ready now. Maybe another year. But Sandin or Fever is going to have to go if we get him in the mix. This assuming we resign Chychrun which i believe we will do.

Yeah, I think it's another year, and it won't be a tough decision. Being able to move a really good D for pure value and spend that ELC savings elsewhere is a luxury. Looking forward to it.

Same with all these prospects that are projecting so well right now. To have this much promise ripening right as the Ovi era is waning is a huge boon for us. That we were somehow able to simultaneously shore up Ovi's last 2 years (atm) into a true contender AND stock the farm so well... I really don't want to hear anyone bitching about management anytime soon.

Lane played 2 years at BU. See no reason why Cole wouldn’t want to do the same. And agree, he needs that time to grow physically. The Habs did sign Lane at the end of last season and he has obviously stayed with the big club. But the Habs stink and don’t care whether he can defend, lol.

The way the Caps operate, could see Cole spending a year in Hershey, which would put him in DC for the 2027-28 season (if my brain is mathing right).

It’s TVR or Carly he would be replacing
