Make him earn that pp1. Don't want him scoring too much on his Rookie contract or you will be paying out the wazoo on his next (potentially 8 year) contract :naughty:

It's also an intersquad practice type of situation in a real NHL game that's going to be a high risk play.
Disagree. If an opponent manages to knock it down, it's a whistle for a high stick. He put it in a place where only his teammate could reach it. Executing that play for most NHL'ers would be risky, I'll grant you that, but plays like that are commonplace for Hutson.

I have no doubt that he has great offensive skills, the question is really going to be how he handles the defensive side of the game and physicality in the playoffs.

I had the same questions about Hughes who plays for my team and he has better size and skating relative to Hutson and his defensive game has really come around but I really wonder how Hutson pans out honestly.

Hughes faded pretty hard in the playoffs
Needs more of a supporting cast in Vancouver

Makar, power, Faber, Hughes, Boeser, Keller hell pretty much every NCAA prospect have echoed the same thing as a rookie

after the the Christmas break the adrenaline has worn off and you realize how much of a grind the NHL season is and you miss those week breaks from the NCAA to recover.
