Pronounced T-Lay
He will be a high event player his entire career. Lots of GF, lots of GA. If he can be a dynamic PP1 guy its still all worth it at the pick they got him.
Rabid Ranger
2 is better than one
He needs a safety valve. Preferably a bigger guy that can skate and that is sound in his own zone. Will need to play down in the lineup as well. Can be a good player in today's NHL though.

I trust the development team to work with him on his defensive play and skating. He looked talented but raw.

Could definitely use work on straight line speed/acceleration.
Yeah I don't know why people talk about is skating. They clearly didn't watch him. Is skating is really good. And is def play is not bad at all. Way overblow just because he's small.

They're not an example of anything. He hasn't had a full practice in and had to play man on man, in his first NHL game. What an awful post.

So you've never watched Hutson before tonight? His defensive issues aren't some new thing lol.
The Kid will be alright - Larking got a step on him - he will recognize players only need half a step at this level... easily correctible just has to react faster and think D first. The OT goal also was that half step and getting back sooner but I dont blame him for that goal as to he had a good chance and could have ended it himself. Over all good game for being thrown right in.
His defensive play was average at best in the NCAA. Its poor at the professional level.

Seemed like he was bound to play in the AHL next season but he looks ready for the NHL in his first game.
Are you kidding me? you're blaming that goal on Hutson?

It's an assinine take. You either don't know much about hockey or it was a take driven by an agenda. I don't care which it is. This was a classic case of a player who didn't get a practice in and had to get used to a new system in his first NHL game. Robidas talked to him on the bench afterwards and it wasn't an issue the rest of the game, where the coaching staff played him for 21 minutes. That kind of positioning wasn't an issue at BU, what are you even babbling about.

Yeah, I'm the one with an agenda.
His defensive play is a serious weakness, I can't believe that's even controversial. I'm sure he'll improve.
So you don't think he pushed up too far? Man some of you guys are sensitive.
I think they were all a little deep, Anderson didn't cover for Hutson very well and his defense on Larkin was very passive. If the Habs need to put Anderson out there in OT they have worse problems then Hutson.
Everything is amplified with this player good and bad.. he had a good 1st game all things considered and importantly he attracts eyeballs. Huston is entertaining to watch.

He pushed up too far, but he was probably just used to the system at BU. It wasn't an issue the rest of the game.
The OT winner he took a risk and it didn't pay off, main issue on that play was no one covering for him.
Honestly he's never gonna be Lidstrom defensively but nothing I saw from him tonight worried me.

Hutson-Reinbacher could be an excellent pairing! Guhle and Mailloux are quite complementary too. Or Harris-Mailloux if they wanna keep Matheson-Guhle

He’s amazing with the puck.
He’s a nice skater
Sees the ice so well
He’s super weak
Terrible in the dzone
Will create a ton of goals against
Fun player to watch.

Hutson will be fine he will help us a ton offensively but defensively management will need to pair him with a bigger good defensive player Reinbacher could be a good option
Decent first game for Hutson. He was out of place a couple of times that led to goals/scoring chances but nothing that can’t be improved. His skating was better than I expected. His gap control and stick work was meh but not as bad as I expected
He looks good at evading forecheck as well and doesn’t panic when he gets pressured. Once he clean up his positioning and learn how to use his stick to its advantage (without the puck/defensively) then I could see him becoming a lite version of Makar and Hughes
