His play completely based on shiftiness and deception. You are right. I have watched hockey for more than 40 years and I have never seen anyone played like him.
It's amazing Hutson was picked at 62 nd by us. Nobody believed in him which is a very good thing for us.
This the proof that Nhl Gm , Médias and even fans are still very dumb about small players
There is no reason than an IQ like that had to wait at 62 to be drafted.
Iq is my most important quality about a prospect.
Size.....? My 7th.
The goat 99 was 170 pounds ans he had the best IQ in history...and btw...he was the best in history also in Playoffs and never got injured except one season.
St Louis, Fleury, Naslund, Sakic Yzerman, Dionne etc...
Half of the best players in history were not 6.0 or 200 pounds and they were all awesome in playoffs and never got injured.
Since 45 years I still saying that size is BS especially for a forward in thr top 6.
When you are good..you are good.
The dude is 162 pounds..and so stong on his feet.
One thing that you can be sure when you draft a small talented player....he has character.. not the case for some dumb big players..
