Saw some clips of this kid, too bad Habs have no forward like him,would be so beneficial. He's going to cost a fortune to somebody at some point.:nod:

He looks less creative offensively than his first 5-10 games.

Probably just overworked, but I don't like it.

Obviously I still love his game, it's just something I've noticed.

When your creativity is not being rewarded by results - other players flubbing their coverage or positioning, or being unable to make plays based on your work - you naturally simplify or become disheartened.

He's been degraded by the team and systems around him.

Whenever a moment of brilliance is created by a player (Hutson, Dach) its met with utter surprise at the other end and barely a shot on goal.
Tbh Nick Suzuki has setup a ton of stuff guys have finished. I think it's more about familiarity. Nick's played a ton with all the forwards and most of the d and probably is vocal in practices being the captain. It's likely a case that Dach missed all of last year and Hutson is new. Both guys probably need to call their shots in practice about the types of things they will try in game if given a chance.

It reminds of cammalleri practicing his shot at a certain angle a hundred times during a practice in 2010 and then scoring the exact goal he practiced later that night in the game. Hnic did a segment on it.

Most of these guys aren't mind readers. Half the time a guy does something crazy or receives something that looked impossible they practiced it previously. You can't really expect 20 guys to have religiously studied lane Hutson tape over the summer.

Which I guess is a criticism of coaching again that nobody seems to have chemistry. Nobody is developing any and were ten games in. What are they practicing exactly?

Execution is such a huge problem right now and it hasn't been there with any consistency since camp. Really baffling, but you can't fix everything all at once, and everything looks off right now.

Makes sense why we've seen some of the offensive pieces pull back as they attempt to figure out the defensive game. I felt last night they were fine defensive except on the goals they conceded which were just such massive breakdowns it's ugly.

The advanced stats basically showed that. We were the better team in terms of defensive impact but it doesn't matter when we generate nothing and give up a few pp goals. Basically the entire team had a positive defensive impact and a negative offensive impact. It tells me practices they're literally only focusing on a single aspect which I don't know if that is common around the league or what but you can't just react to every loss with mass changes when you're not playing the same team next game.

But I don't know how to solve it I'm not an NHL level head coach.

If Habs players could finish Hutson's plays and he had a bit more luck with his shots, he'd probably be tied 2nd or 3rd for points by a Dmen.

If this is what he's doing on a really bad team as a 161lbs rookie, I'm looking forward to seeing him in his prime!
