He is super talented but I do think there is a lot of empty calories with his puck possession. Kind of noticed it a bit in the first pre season. Do a whole bunch of cool things with the puck and in the end he just ends up trapped on the boards and then the puck is going the other way.
Reminds me of Mattias Tedenby, who I really liked, but as a defenseman. More of a light show than any type of artillery. Granted, it is a different NHL now. Meaning he may have a better chance to develop.

Hutson is great on defense AND he's also smoking Casey, Hughes and the Great Simon "The Habs shoulda take him instead of Slafkovsky!!1" Nemec in points

In fact Hutson has more points than those three jabronis combined

Good thing that we have 2 or 3 Devils fans, of all the fanbases, explaining to us the sport of ice hockey and how we're somehow wrong

If only that translated into standings points!

Why is his shots amount is so low?
Shots on goal by most prolific rookie defensemen from previous 5 seasons:

GPSS/GP
Q.Hughes681261.85
C.Makar571212.12
M.Seider821872.28
L.Hughes821351.65
B.Faber821361.66
A.Fox701251.79
O.Power791301.65
J.Sanderson771321.71
J.Drysdale811371.69

Hutson's 19 shots in 21 games while playing 23 minutes, look underwhelming to be honest, he needs to put more pucks on net.
headfakes per 60 is elite though.

Sadly, I am old enough to remember when Housley broke in right after he was drafted. Undersized 18 year old but he put up 66 points in 77 games, 3rd on his team in scoring, and had 19 goals. He was close to a PPG D man over the first 12 seasons of his career and remained productive for 17 seasons.

Phil was truly a gifted offensive D man.

We are still talking about Hutson? a 20 years rookie on his first season? I did not expect to see this thread being still active on the first page.....

5th in poke checks
2nd in D-Zone poke checks
3rd in O zone entries
5th in D zone exits
1st in O zone rushes
3rd in overall puck possession
4th in O Zone puck possession



BUT HE SHOULD BE IN THE AHL

Just close your eyes and say that he sucks at defense because he's short like everybody's been doing.

Nevermind the fact that this 2nd round pick is doing better than any D in his draft class.

He is clearly an nhl player. He is pretty nifty. I project a long nhl career with lots of points. I can’t wait for him to score a goal so everyone can stop roasting him because they hate the thread title or the fact that he is a hab 🤮

Was raised in the north,it was a big deal when a kid got invited to try out for the bombers,when you got on the train and bus you knew you had to be physically and mentally tough,had buddies tell me they were taken to the bar only to be set up to see if you stood tall or tucked tail,afterwards you were told to put your head in the snow to keep swelling done,it wasn't prep school hockey lol.
