Can’t stop posting about me, rent free lol. Hutson plays a similar game to Ghost I even said I thought he’d be better, but closer to Ghost than a Quinn Hughes type, not sure what the big deal is? If you’ve watched both players play they’re extremely similar, Hutson obviously has a below average shot where Ghost excels above him, Hutson has better IQ and slightly better skating before Ghosts knee surgery.
...except they play NOTHING alike...Ghost was a shooter, Hutson isn't...Hutson's IQ and maneuverability are much better than Ghost's were...Hutson is already an elite passer, Ghost never was...maybe it's you that needs to watch more closely, amigo...
man just going through these posts from october/december. Some real trash takes. Devils fans dunking on our record back in late november is just too funny looking back.

I simply corrected the other guy, but you can delude yourself all you like.
He's actually reminding me of Karlsson with his stick work especially when he is close to the defender.

He's really really good. I doubted Quinn Hughes too. Johnny Gaudreau(RIP) had people doubt him his whole career. These guys that have the small area movements and elite skating have always had a niche to fill. Fast hands don't always translate but the guys who know how to use them do.
Gretzky wasn't short but he was undersized, especially for the eras he played in. I truly in my heart of hearts believe The Great Red Wino is who this burgeoning star has modeled his game after, and likely how he'll be remembered after his career is over.

I think he’s great! Been solid in all the MTL games I have watched!
Burgeoning Baby Brother!
Cole Hutson:
- Lead WJC in points (first D to do so; most points ever by a US D)
- Hockey East rookie of the year; named MOP (6 pts in 2 gp) of his region -> Frozen Four next week.
Cole is also bigger than Lane at 5’11; 170 lbs.
Anyways, Lane has been really impressive in the games I’ve watched. His skill is undeniable. Here’s hoping this is the next Hughes family!
I was pushing hard for Celebrini in the Calder race, but atp it has to be Hutson with his numbers, the records he might break…

At 57 assists he is 3 away from the most ever by a rookie defenseman with 8 games to go.
Its all secondary assists. Even his 5 goals are secondary goals so who care !
For anyone interested, Hutson has the 7th most primary assists among all defensemen.
In fact, his secondary assists are often the most impressive, since he creates so many chances from scratch. He carries puck out of his zone and through the neutral zone, before hitting a forward with a pass. Forget the team he plays for and watch this 21 year-old as a hockey fan. It's astounding.
The kid is a chessmaster. It's like watching The Queen's Gambit on ice.

Ghost was a goal scorer, Hutson is a playmaker.
What is your argument for Ghost over Hughes? Isn't Hughes a better comparable? Having hard time understanding your logic
Some NHL analysts based in Toronto had a very hard time saying it's his to lose, the tone has shifted the past 10 days or so
Cole is the more fluid skater and has more confidence to try crazy plays, Lane is the smarter of the two. Both are going to be insanely fun to watch moving forward, can't believe Washington's drafting, unreal.

Montreal is a divisional rival, but I'm never upset to see a franchise rewarded for betting on pure skill in the draft. Too many cowardly GMs still prioritize size when it's apparent the talent isn't there, and that's how you end up with Brady Cleveland in the 2nd (no, I'm not salty...).
I thought Hutson could be great (had him ranked 10th predraft which is about 9 spots too low lol), but it's easy to make the same mistake betting against those guys. I never saw Alex Vlasic having the impact he's had and wouldn't bet a draft pick on his player type which is probably just as wrong, just in the opposite direction.
