No, they ONLY won defenseman of the year in the OHL and WHL, they were ONLY the top producing defenseman in their entire league on a PPG basis, and top 10-15 amongst all skaters in their leagues.

They didn't break any NCAA records, since you know, they didn't play in the NCAA, but thanks for answering the question of whose prospect rankings have him head and shoulders above our own guys.

Top 100 NHL prospects ranked Aug 2023

Hutson is higher than Zellweger and Korchinsky, Chicago top prospect at D, 7th overall in 2022. It shows a lot about Hutson value.

Hutson would be the main piece in a Zegras trade for sure, but i can't see Hughes trade him because of the Boston connection.

If a trade was to be made for Zegras, it would have been for the 2023 5th overall pick, with the Ducks picking one of Michkov or Leonard. MTL isn't trading Dach or Slafkovsky for Zegras.

I saw that and I think it's too much. Personally I wouldn't trade that 2024 1st.

I don't know what Anaheim would want in terms of prospects. They have good D prospects both LHDs and RHDs. Strome probably starts as the #1C but McTavish isn't far behind him and they passed up Fantilli to draft Carlsson so they have to like him a lot.

Does Zegras make Montreal a contender this season? It's the only way that giving up that much for 1 player makes sense.

Certanly not a condenter for now, but they build one of the best, or maybe the best U25 offensive core in the league. The offensive lines will likely be :

Zegras - Suzuki - Caufield
Harvey-Pinard - Dach - Slafkovsky
Newhook - Monahan - Anderson
Pearson - Evans - Gallagher
