Cole Hutson's Player Profile

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "He competes, and has the will to defend. But he also has some remarkable playmaking capabilities and even showed a refined goal-scoring touch this season. Hutson gets into plays aggressively and more NHL teams are finding spots for players that play like him."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "Cole's got more of a physical element to his game than Lane does and plays opponents really hard so that his size is less noticeable (Lane’s plenty competitive, but Cole delivers more hits if you will), gluing himself to them in order to be as disruptive as possible and really outwardly battling along the wall."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "Scouts aren't as sold his offense will be as elite as his brother's even if Cole is bigger and a better skater. He will get NHL games due to how talented he is but he will need to prove he can have a long career and earn a coach's trust defensively."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "I know the concerns here. He’s defensively flawed, can get too fancy with the puck at the wrong times and isn’t particularly big. But the upside here is still huge."

David Saad - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "Hutson’s all about skating into the offensive zone, assessing his options and making a quick pass or finding an open lane to get the puck somewhere dangerous. It’s been a bit of a mixed bag, early in the season he was known try a bit too much and get himself into hot water; that’s gotten better as the season’s gone on but at the cost of some of his on-puck dare."
