Player Discussion The Curious Case of Benjamin Hutton (Part II)

[monster_bertuzzi]

Anyine know of his current weight? Just curious, he can still get stronger but he's definitely not weak out there. Has to be 200+.

Anyway, it's safe to say that he's a legit top 4 PMD and the discussions about sending him down due to waiver status were probably not the best decision for either him or the team considering how good he's been.

I remember hearing 209 lbs somewhere. He's a big kid, he really has it all - frame, skills, brains.

Well then

Well then

I don't know how I feel about this.

 

[WTG]

Well then

Hutton is a walking talking meme.

Hoping the last couple of games are just a blip, or the result of struggling to play with Bartkowski, but Hutton's definitely been up and down...have to remember that he's coming from a college program where they play 30 games on weekends....it'll be interesting to see how things are going in the dog-days of Jan.-Feb.

Very true. I also don't think he's getting any help from Bartkowski skating reallyreallyreally fast and doing **** all.

Hutton's zone entry stats are legit impressive if he keeps this up vs tougher competitions he can very well become a #1 defenseman.

Loved the Canucks Access video when Hutton had family at Ottawa and they were all happy for him. When his grandparents asked "did you see so and so", he replied "I ooked up from time to time, but I still have a game to play" and then he started mimicing his family. Seems like a very happy-go-lucky guy. Fun to have in the dressing room.

Do we know why Hutton is out and when he's expected back?

I was wondering this as well. Starting to get really anxious to get him back in the lineup. Had just about enough of the current bottom 4.

Well then

I can't unsee this.

I miss Hutton

Does anyone know if he can play the right side well? Or can Hamhuis?

A Hamhuis - Hutton pairing would be really good. Getting Weber out of that top 4 is essential at this point.

Hutton is such an important piece for the 'Nucks going forward....everybody who watches this team nightly knows that rebuilding the blue-line is Benning's next big task...Edler and Tanev are still both under 30, so that's a solid start...and I'm starting to warm to Sbisa and Bartkowski, at least least as depth guys...and now with Hutton you've got a guy with top-four potential.....suddenly that task of rounding out a much improved top-six doesn't seem as daunting

Edler is 29.......so there's that.
Btw, Hutton has rejoined the team according to Canucks' Twitter.

He was 6'3 205 on his NCAA listing last year but the Canucks website used their listing from the draft that they had never updated when he made the team

I think someone said around 209 and I seem to recall hearing that too around training camp

"Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said Hutton hasn’t looked intimidated, and adding offseason muscle to his 6-foot-3 frame will give the 210-pound Prescott, Ont., native a better physical presence in his own zone."

 

[WTG]

I really think if Hutton can grow fill out his 6'3" frame with muscle and learn to throw the body around he can become a #1.

The guy is so offensively creative.

Holy **** he is so cute.
