Sir, this is an Arber
So what's the "he cant skate backwards, wont survive in nhl" crowd saying these days?
1 is plentyWouldve been nice if the habs found a way to draft his brother
Depends who you ask; the ones that were late to the party will say Cole because they’ve seen what Lane does and Cole is more « conventional » for a D.So which Hutson is better, Cole or Lane?
LOVE that Eiserman barely acknowledges Hutson there, absolutely « in character » for that guy.1 is plenty
We're fine
Insulated with 5 D's with size

I kinda like him on PP2 for the balance it gives us. And you’re right the second line sometimes looks better than the firstPP2 looks better than PP1 just due to this guy alone. Matheson's days are numbered as a PP QB.
He is the best Habs skater by a large margin since the begin of the season, he makes a weak 2nd PP wave dangerous on his own. He generates so much offensively and always makes the smart play. Defensively he is alright, I was curious to see how he would handle himself, but so far so good, kid is really smart and combative. He is a beauty to watch.
It was mostly one poster who is still finding things to complain about regarding him.
Seriously, Reinbacher injury hurt us so much. I has hoping we could see both of Hutson and Reinbacher by January with the Habs.He's honestly our best player with the puck on his stick, the vision is just Markovesque.
This player change the dynamic of this team.
Can't imagine how good this team will be with the addition of Laine/Demidov/Hage/Beck/Reinbacher/Mailloux/Engstrom/Dobes/Fowler and dare I say Mesar?
+ Another 2 x 1st 2025.
The future looks good!
He was a steal the day we drafted him and even a bigger steal today. NHL teams looking foolish right now for passing on him. For once we got lucky in the draft.
Same will happen with Demidov.
To a point, his defense coverage is the most surprising feature right now. I think we all baked in, if you will, his uncanny offensive ability.There was more than one Hutson detractors. Something we heard here often is that he wouldn't be more than a bottom pairing pp specialist because of his defense.
That didn't make sense. They didn't give his defense enough credit, but even if his defense was bad, it still wouldn't make sense to only use him on the bottom pairing when his offensive impact is so great. He has such a big impact offensively that you want him on the ice more often. Its not like all elite dmen were good defensively (Karlsson, Letang, Hughes, etc.), so the idea he shouldn't be playing in the top 4 because of his defense never made any sense.
2022 is to Bobrov what 2007 was to Timmins
2022 is to Bobrov what 2007 was to Timmins
The fact that so many posters were crying about Bobrov now looks so ridiculously dumb in hindsight.
At this point, it's feels like we have drafted the 1st and 2nd best players in 2022 draft lol
I wouldn't trade Slaf or Hutson for any players in this draft aswell.
Honestly? I don't think I would either, at this point at least
