I would lose too much sleep on it. He is a good NCAA goalie, but probably projects the be #3 or AHL level guy.

Perets should be top target. Bischel, Chrona next.

Henry Thrun sounds like the main character of a Marvel movie about a somewhat nerdy nobody with family issues who suddenly becomes an inter-generational superhero. Kinda like the non-Asian Shang Chi.

Pretty much sums him up. Graduated HS Summa Cum Laude, has near perfect GPA as Econ Major at Harvard…and All-American, point-per-game dman prospect.

this is hilarious I was just reading up on some NCAA free agents, and thinking to myself "I wonder who the Oilers are going to sign if anyone" then I refresh Oilers twitter and I see this, they signed the captain of UMass-Lowell, who has 12G 15A 27P in 36GP

Best player in Halifax Moosehead History

Better than
-Nathan Mackinnon
-Jonathan Drouin
-Jake Voracek
-Nik Ehlers
-Timo Meier
-Nico Hischier

Crazy what he's doing

If he's not the next Adam Fox he's a bust

What if hes not Fox but becomes Krug before he fell off

If Hutson becomes prime Krug, I'm definitely not going to complain, but he's putting up historic numbers and his hype is definitely superstar level hype.

In general if he can overcome the size barrier and be a good offensive Dman and a PP weapon one could argue thats not bad. People will go well he never became Fox who cares. Adapts to the NHL and puts up 30+ points thats pretty good for a Dman. Sure defense will be the one nagging point but just pair him with the right guy and your good
