Cole Hutson Is The Brother Of Dynamic Montreal Canadiens Defenseman And Former Calder Trophy Winner Lane Hutson
Hutson was taken by the Capitals with the 43rd overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. He's shown that like his brother Lane, he has an offensive knack despite being a defenseman.
Per his scouting report via Elite Prospects, Hutson's passing skills are among his attributers.
Cole Hutson has the 1-on-1 game at the point down to a science. A lateral slide, a hesitation move, and he gets past the first layer of defence. He drives down the faceoff circle, fakes a shot, and sends the perfect cross-ice pass to the talented shooter sitting inside space on the other flank. - Elite Prospects
So far this year with Boston University, Hutson has 32 points (10G, 22A) in 35 games played. He also played for Team USA during the World Junior Championships.
