The Curious Case of Benjamin Hutton

[VanillaCoke]

Is Ben hutton gonna be our klingberg ?

Yes.

 

[tc 23]

Hutton is bae. Wonder if he keeps #27 full-time. I'd get a jersey if I knew for sure.

Lets hope he's our Josi. Aim high.

Still liking his poise with the puck and willingness to try and make plays under pressure. Positioning without the puck seems to be getting better and better too.

Only rookies to have more shots on goal are Panarin, Ehlers, Domi.

Missed the 1st period but was he on the top PP unit the whole game?

No, still second unit.

Just the player I was thinking of as well.

 

[vanuck]

No, still second unit.

Thanks. I spotted him on the 1st unit in the 3rd period so was curious.

i missed this from a couple days ago, but its a pretty good presentation of why (tangentially) as to why i thought the comets were f***ing themselves over last year (and why i was freaking out when i thought there was a chance of not signing him). ben hutton has been a good prospect for a long f***ing time.

Interesting.

I remember when I watched Hutton play a couple times last year. I remember him having a bunch of shots too.

I think the game was Maine vs BC broadcasted by NBCsports



Never really thought of shots as a measurement of tracking progression.

Lidstrom

It's nice that we have a Weber for him to play with too

Similar thing with the AHL too when you're looking for players who stand out - guys who're dominating that level generally should be able to put up very good shot rates. That's one of the criticisms people had about Vey in his final season there.

Lidstrom

Orr.

 

[Tim McCracken]

Would be interesting to see Hutton's game if paired with Tanev over a long period of time.

If only Edler-Hamhuis can work. Then we can reduce the 3rd pairing minutes down to like 12 minutes.

they'd be great together but we dont have enough depth. the rest of the D would be scary bad.

That's incredibly impressive for Hutton. Maybe it shouldn't be too surprising though considering his elite shot rate in college.

That was 2 years ago I think. Point still stands though. Hutton hype has been going strong for a few years here. I don't think any of us thought his defensive game would be this solid already though. The offensive swagger is par for the course.

He should take Bieksa's 3

 

[arsmaster*]

He chose #27 and could have easily taken 3 or what not.

#27 is a nice number, I quite like it on him.

That's what I was thinking too but there's also the possibility of Hutton not wanting to take #3 so soon after Bieksa's departure, being a rookie and all. Interesting he didn't opt for #10, given that he wore it in college and his Twitter handle is @bhutt10 and all.

I'll wait until next season then I guess just to be safe.

I think there's some Russian fellow that might take issue with Hutton taking #10.

(I made that mistake, too.)
