Hutson is dominating play from the blue line like few others in college hockey ever have
have each developed their respective craft in college, then almost seamlessly transitioned to the pros and looked right at home.
In his first college hockey season, Hutson is doing things few others have done before. He is a big reason why the Boston University Terriers rank fifth in the country in goals per game and total goals scored . His 0.97 assists per game rank third in the nation, behind fellow Canadiens prospect Sean Farrell and projected 2023 top-3 pick Adam Fantilli.
His weaker play in transition, however, means he does not yet possess the full skillset expected from a hyper-mobile top defensemen like Hughes and Fox.Brown is confident Hutson's ceiling in the NHL is as a No. 1 offensive defenseman. Much of that, though, will depend on how the 19-year-old develops his skating and strength to make him a threat in all three zones of the ice.
"At Elite Prospects, we had him 47th overall. Unfortunately, I think that he went in the late second was not surprising," he explained. "It was not a consequence of his size; it was more a consequence of the skating and that his game tended to rely on the same patterns, which has turned out to not be an issue in college."
