The 5-foot-9, 148-pound American had a lot of success last year with the American development program.
Hutson had 32 points in 27 games.
In an interview following his selection, he admitted that he likes to model his game after New York Rangers defenceman Adam Fox. In fact, he is just ahead of Fox for the most points in the history of the American development program.
He'll be really interesting to watch in the next few years, because before he puts a single foot in professional hockey, he'll have to put on some pounds.
