Funny thing, i can drop a lot of HOF names that I've seen live. The first hazy memory i have is sitting on my fathers shoulders in a cup parade...in '56.
Mailman has no real offensive competition on the right side and Hutson is the "great white little hope" on the left. I'm not sure Hutson will be able to ply his wizardry without getting consistently plastered against the glass.
There is no guarantees as to how prospects turn out. Right now, from having watched him with amateur scout eyes, his minimum floor is top 6, his likely is top 4 and his ceiling is top 2. He has ALL the high end tools other then vision, which is more a function of missing a ton of development. Which he's getting now.
To be honest, he's better for you as a RHD and fits your offense better then Guhle....but you can't have him.
I think solberg kinda fills that potential void we woulda wanted to fill with guhle. Zellweger/lacombe have both played rhd for a portion of careers, and played there at nhl lvl also…. So idk that handiness is a big issue to us…. Zellweger might actually be more comfortable on right side
I don’t see the fit with mailloux in Anaheim…. As I think we’d want a more shutdown guy…. I think Reinbacher was the guy that always made most sense.
