Assists ARE points. So are goals. AS a defenceman, your more likely to get more assists than goals as your always trying to feed the fwds who usually score the most goals. When a defenceman is as talented as Hutson, they will racking in the assists.

If secondary assists are so easy, how come no other d-man on the Habs, or any other rookie d-man in the NHL, is even in the same stratosphere as Hutson for the number of them? He must be the luckiest d-man in the league this season.

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...).

Even for the Habs they probably don't draft him if they didn't already pick 3 times earlier in the draft
 
I’m a wings fan and we have an active thread where we are going back and forth with habs fans about who’s team has a better future

Hutson is insane and I’m so f***ing tired of NHL GMs having these size fetishes. NHL scouting and drafting has to be among the worst across all the pro leagues. Bunch of old men who have zero idea where the game is going.

Kid is Hughes 2.0, and he was in Detroits backyard too. First we missed Hughes and now we missed this kid. Our 2nd round drafting sucks so hard man.

yup, can't give too much credit to Hughes for this one. He felt that Slaf, Mesar and beck were better prospects. Just got lucky he was there with the Oilers pick at 62

I want the Habs to draft Hutson at Mesar pick. At Beck pick, I was so upset thinking Hutson probably would be gone at Oilers 2nd round pick. Luckily, all GMs were dinosaur and keep drafting players based on size.

7th overall for rookie defencemen in scoring, with 8 games to go. Could challenge for #2 all time at this rate.

Its crazy when you look at that list of names and realize they played in the 80's/90's... He just past Nick LIdstrom and that was when Lidstrom was a rookie in 1991. Lidstrom's numbers are impressive to me though as that was at the start of the dead-puck era.

Not really. The DPE started a few seasons later. 92-93 broke a lot of scoring records because of the new sticks and goalie equipment didn't change until 94 or 95.

In his rookie season, the Wings scored 4 goals per game and Lidstrom was 6th best scorer on his team. Hutson is 3rd on a team scoring 1 goal less per game.

The dead puck era started around 1996-97. There was 29 PPG players in 1990-91.

Out of the 6 guys who have now score pts as rookie dmen, 5 are Hall of famers (Leetch, Chelios, Murphy, Bourque, Horsley ) and only Gary Suter - a 5x all star wasn't.

This is very elite company
