Kid is putting up some boss minutes and doesn't look out of place... as a 20 year old rookie. 25 minutes? The kid is not being sheltered...
I remember a specific moment near the end of the game yesterday where he pinned a player against the glass and didnt look like he had any trouble with it. He looked like a normal NHL defenseman playing physical. Hes not just an offensive phenom

Yes, I was wrong about Hutson.

I've already said as such many times. I wasn't sure if his game would translate to the NHL, and was always extremely high on Struble since the day we drafted him.

I was about to ask if anyone had seen you post since the original or if we needed to send a search party for you.

Glad to see you’re still here and have come to your senses. :laugh:

Wait until he's passing it across the box to Demidov next season. A good left handed half wall player will unlock his production even more. And you have Suzuki at the right point passing to Caufield or Laine. With a PP run by Martin St Louis.

You must have confused me for someone else.

It wasn't even a "mistake" per say. Completely defensible to trade Hutson back when I made the post, if the return was great. He was a gamble and the fact that we won this gamble doesn't change the situation for when uncertainty was at its highest. But yes, it would have been costly. The bet was reasonable, the result would have been bad.

It's unbelievable that all teams passed on Hutson on the 1st round. They almost passed on him on the 2nd round. The Habs luckily decided to draft him on the 62nd pick.

Yes, with his talent, he should easily go 1st overall at this moment.

I would don't trade Hutson for any 2022 draft players, even Logan Cooley. Give me Hutson.

His defensive game is very impressive aswell. He have everything !

I remember thinking Seattle was going to take a chance on him for sure since they had 4 second rounders, thank f*** they didn't.

And did what?

There's roles on teams and two guys can't occupy the same role. It'd be a redundancy.

PP2, or trade him. Because of their size, they're being undervalued, so you're getting more value from the draft. I think that should be the philosophy after the top picks.

I'm curious about what value Lane currently has. I assume he would get you a lot. And all you needed to do was wait, let them go through their development, and then cash in. Unless you lose value on an exchange (like with bitcoin trading, say), but I don't see why you would.

Who do you guys think won? I’ll go Lane.

I remember really well the selection of Lane Hutson in my point of view. He was the best offensive dman of the US national team. When I made my mock draft, the choice for Montreal was between Tristan Luneau and Hutson. The next day, when I heard Montreal took Hutson at 62. I never understood what just happened (the show is not on television). . I mean, yeah, Hutson was tiny like a bee, but at the end of the first round. You need to take the homerun while you can! You don't become the best offensive dman for the US team by chance.

It's on the NHL network every year.

We draft Cole Hutson with which pick?

You forgot our 2nd round pick was traded in the Dvorak trade we did not have it to draft Cole Hutson. I don't think drafting Cole HUtson instead of Micheal Hage is a great idea. I like Hage he's a great prospect. A trade to get another 1st round pick or a very early 2nd round pick needed to be made to draft Cole.
