At Boston University, especially in the second half of the 23/24 season, Hutson logged an incredible amount of ice time.
Considering he was used sparingly on the penalty kill, his average TOI ranging from 22:00 - 26:00 per game is an outlier.
Plays to a consistent identity. Dynamic playmaker. Sees the ice. Escapes pressure in small areas. Has the legs to lead zone exits on his own and attack off the rush. Extends plays in the offensive zone with his read/react/elite hockey sense.
Leans distributor more than shooter - but always in motion looking for open space and prime shooting lanes to get pucks to the net on his own as well -
Transitional NHL 'D' on the horizon - Power-Play quarterback
List size is now up to 5'10 162 lbs.
Average plus defender. Active stick. Gets 'inside and under' opponents sticks.
Relentless compete. Never backs down.
