LD Cole Hutson - US National U17 Team, USDP (2024 Draft)

[Breakers]

The net xG on puckpreps cards is broken I think. Every single player card I've seen has their net xG as either 1 or 2, even guys who have high defensive ratings.

Thanks
That clarifies the model
Because he doesnt have great defensive numbers from the BU analysts
everything else checks outs

Hutson is tied for most points by an NCAA freshman (39). His 1.18 PPG is tops. Since the beginning of December, he's been A+, as good as Lane was as a freshman.

Odds he signs a contract after his post-season is over and makes his NHL debut this year?

Washington's defense is really good. There's no room for him this season.

I'd be shocked if he doesn't stick around at BU for another year.

On March 19th Cole was named Hickey East rookie of year following Celebrini last year and his his brother Lane in 2023.

A native of Chicago, Hutson has been one of the nation's most dynamic players this season. He is tied for first among NCAA rookies, regardless of position, in both points (39) and assists (27). In addition, Hutson leads all rookie defensemen as well as all Hockey East blue liners, regardless of class, in goals (12), assists (27) and points (39); he is third among all NCAA defensemen in points and is second among all defensemen with 1.15 points per game.

Cole joined his brother Lane and Alexandre Legault as the only freshmen defensemen in program history to record at least 30 points in a single season. Cole and Lane are also the only two defensemen since at least 2005-06 to record 10+ goals and 25+ assists in their first 32 career games.

I'm hoping he joins next season. Caps currently has 5 D-men contracted for 25/26. Alexeyev will be RFA and Chychrun FA unless they re-sign.

Staying for 2 years worked for Makar and his brother, not sure why he would rush to turn pro, only to play in the AHL. Caps love to slow cook their prospects.
