AHL is even harder for skilled small players than the NHL, they get targeted by goons and aspiring fourth-liners out to make a name for themselves.

Simoneau and Hutson shouldnt really be compared. Simoneau plays like an absolute pest and is usually the one initiating a lot of the rough stuff despite his size. That said, i think concerns on Hutson are a bit overblown. Is his defensive game perfect? No. But its gonna be passable, especially with the off the charts offence. Kaiden Guhle is gonna be playing the Left side against the other team's top line for a long time anyway. As ive said, that kid is gonna be a stud, more valuable than the points he puts up. With Guhle and Hutson we will have a great one-two punch on the left. And plenty of competition for the third slot. Engstrom and the Russian look great overseas. Xhekaj and Struble are physical options as well. Meanwhile with Reinbacher, Barron, Mailloux, Kovacevic, Harris, the right side is shaping up too. The defence should be this team's biggest strength. Its not an area im too worried about. I think we need to find one more star level forward and a goalie as needs instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t seem to produce a lot offensively. Not sure if it’s a factor of the league he’s in? Are Slavin or Vlasic better best case projections that we can hope for?

DON Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 KHL is supposedly weaker now, so Bogdan's #s might be flattering (Wideman did well there also). But, interesting prospect at least. Beaulieu a mentor... ugg. Not sure on that one.
