There’s a lot more hype around Hutson than there was around Harris. It’s been said he would’ve been a top 10 pick if he was bigger. He seems to have grown an inch or two depending on which reports you read. Combined with the fact that many consider him one of the top d-men in the NCAA, seeing him in a Habs uniform in a year an a bit isn’t that much of a stretch.
As for Mailloux, Francis Bouillon was quoted on air saying he’s the closest to the NHL of all prospects. Combine that with the lack of quality dmen on our right side, it’s not outrageous to see him here in a year and a bit.
Beck: he’s a Suzuki clone… cerebral 2-way player, and Suzuki played 1 game of AHL playoff hockey before cracking the habs roster, a roster that was better than this roster I might add.
