Why would it be a waste to pair Reinbacher with him if by some good fortune both end up developing well enough to play 22+min/game? Reinbacher will be hopefully threatening enough offensively that defenders won't overload Hutson at the point and defensively he can help make up some of Hutson's flaws. Double shifting Hutson on PPs and making him start most of the ozone faceoffs would be an easy way to increase his icetime while limiting his risks.He's a 1st pairing defenseman on the Sharks and had Methot being his partner in Ottawa.
So maybe Hutson could be a "1st pairing defenseman" if they attach him with a good shutdown defenseman. Hopefully not Reinbacher though as that just seems to be a waste.
Perhaps that Engstrom guy that Habs fans like would do it.
Engstrom had as good as a draft+1 you can hope from him but not sure he's a 1st pairing guy.
