And both of those other guys started the season early in Europe and are ahead of everyone else in games.

He's trying to do too much out there

Bro we were a good bunch on draft day praying they would pick him. Settle down, playa.

Haven't seen a player move like that since ever. He's special!

I’m confident it will be corrected, that’s a plain as day assist.

I was the only one who wanted to trade up for him from the Mesar pick, though guess it wasn’t necessary lolBro we were a good bunch on draft day praying they would pick him. Settle down, playa.
Did say he was going to be a “legit superstar” and “steal of the draft”.

I'm kidding chum, I'm sure you were high on him. I thought he should be at least a late first, early second. The fact we got him at 62 is kinda lucky. So many teams slept hard on him. I knew it was another Caufield like case where teams would overthink his size over his gigantic talent.

Have to admit I thought he’d need some protection by playing on the third pair and PP to start for at least 20-40 games. This kid does things right now at a completely higher level. It’s early in the season and the league is usually sludgy the first 2-3 weeks of games, so we’ll see if this holds, but man, I’ve been blown away.

Yup, it was clear the guy was electric. Certain guys have that type of talent that “pops”, Hutson certainly has it. Perfect player for us as well.

Very good chance we got the two best players out of that draft
Well…that was an eye opening game for me. This guy looks freaking elite. We haven’t had such high IQ talent like this since Andrei Markov.
I think we are in for one hell of a ride.

He’s a hybrid of Markov and Subban. Doesn’t have the dynamic rushing of Subban but he can dance. He’s flashy in his own way and is a little more cerebral along the lines of Markov.

Not much of a shooting threat though, at least not yet.
Hutson will be a special player though, watching him at the Bell Center live is pretty special. Very reminiscent of when Subban would have the puck on his stick, just wait for the magic.

Subban relied more on physical abilities. Great skating and could muscle his way around. His rushes were spectacular and he pulled fans out of their seats more than player we’ve had since Guy Lafleur (and I’m not exaggerating on that statement.) Killer shot too.
Hutson simply doesn’t have that going for him. You’re right, I don’t think anyone’s going to fear his shot anytime soon. But he’s so good at creating space for him and his teammates. Subban would make solo plays (individualiste) and rush up to make plays himself. Hutson’s constantly scanning the ice for teammates and open space. In that sense he’s like Markov but a lot flashier.

Tropical!
Hutson's hands ans vision are WAY better tbh. This is probably the most talented Dman the teams had in my lifetime (35)
He’s got a sneaky wrister. And puts it on net consistently with really good ability to find a lane*
Expect him to show this as his confidence grows.
Hutson also has something Markov doesn’t have, the ability to shimmy and shake and draw people his way and then subsequently pull their pants down. Lol
He’s literally breaking games open, as a rookie. God damn it feels good to have a draft steal.

PK Subban was damn good. One of the top three in the league when he was with us. Just spectacular.
