Cole Hutson's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - August 14th: "He quickly identifies second and third options, often a step ahead of opposing structures. The way he shows one thing and does another is pretty unique. His little hesitations in control into quick, decisive attacking moments grab your attention and allow him to make plays."

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - July 20th: "He generates a burst of speed through the defensive and neutral zone and can attack the offensive with great intensity. He has excellent puck control and sees the ice very well in regards to his high-end playmaking abilities."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - July 6th: "Cole is similar to his brother. He quarterbacks the power play, and he arguably has the best vision, offensively, in the entire draft class. He’s a difference maker who is also a competitive defender despite his size."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - July 5th: "He’s a very skilled and intelligent defenseman who can make a ton of plays and run a power play at a high level. He’s quite undersized though, and while he skates well, he doesn’t have amazing feet for his size."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - July 3rd: "He excels against quality competition. And thanks to his brother, scouts might have learned their lesson and not pass on Cole because he’s on the smaller size. But like his brother, Cole struggles in his own zone. The offense is there, but let’s see some defensive improvements."
