not the best comparison, I think Hutson will be the better skater and have a lot more skill and "flash" than a Barrie or Ghost. Have you seen his highlight videos? They speak for themselves, and its not like hes playing in junior.... And no, he wont always be able to pull it off on every play at the NHL level, but skill is skill. Hes not going to just lose that.
And again, Makar being just 1-2 inch taller, and about 15 lbs heavier than Hutson (in their D+1).... Hutson put up the same production this past year in the same league. Its not a fluke.
I see the resemblance to Makar at the offensive blueline but that's where it ends for me. Makar is the total package.
I think the argument for Hutson would be "yeah he'll be a specialist, but an 80 point specialist".
