He was a late second, but yes, he is a treat to beholdcan't believe this guy fell to the 3rd round. He looks like an absolute stud even with his defensive shortcomings.

nice!! good trade hahaLate second
Acquired from the oilers for brett kulak
ya top speed isn't really close to where it "should" be (for similar players at his size) but that's his gameIncredible talent and IQ, but below average skating. Still think he has a shot at the Calder this year
I don't really understand why the entire league passed on this player.
I thought we were beyond that. There have been multiple stars in the league that have been small in stature.
Not a lot of small statured d-men tho. I understand the hesitation.I thought we were beyond that. There have been multiple stars in the league that have been small in stature.
Also, it's not like Hutson's talent was hard to see.
Like the other poster said, not really for defenseman. I don't think he has a comparable, and that's why a lot of teams didn't/still don't know what he will become.I thought we were beyond that. There have been multiple stars in the league that have been small in stature.
Pavel Datsyuk was drafted in the 6th round, what’s your point?29 teams passed on him. Nobody doubts that he is a talented player but...
Really? Nikita Kucherov, Kiril Kaprizov, Adam Fox, Jamie Benn, etc. All were passed by most NHL teams... all talented but...?29 teams passed on him. Nobody doubts that he is a talented player but...
But they are the exception. There are far more small statured players that have not been successful in the pros. Defensemen in particular.Really? Nikita Kucherov, Kiril Kaprizov, Adam Fox, Jamie Benn, etc. All were passed by most NHL teams... all talented but...?
well ya of course they are the exception. Or else there would be no consideration on size when drafting.But they are the exception. There are far more small statured players that have not been successful in the pros. Defensemen in particular.
Okay. Has nothing to do with what I said or what the person I responded to said.well ya of course they are the exception. Or else there would be no consideration on size when drafting.
Thats the point. We're hoping that Hutson continues to be the exception. If he wasn't an exception he wouldn't have lasted till almost the third round.
