"If Cole Hutson comes out of college, like we hope he does, maybe [Liljegren's] a guy that you can pair up with him and just gives Carbs some options. Patrick spoke about Hutson's potential match on a defense pair with the recently acquired Timothy Liljegren."
"Hutson has previously said he's in no rush to end his college career, but also mentioned in December that he texts with Capitals forward Ryan Leonard pretty much every day, and that he would be super excited and nervous to join Leonard with the Caps if I'm lucky enough."
Cole Hutson, selected by the Washington Capitals in the 2024 NHL Draft, is poised to potentially conclude his college hockey career at Boston University this week. The Terriers face Vermont in the Hockey East Tournament opening round, with their 16-16-2 record requiring a tournament run to reach the NCAA Tournament. Hutson leads BU in scoring with 30 points across 33 games this season, down from his 48-point freshman year. Capitals GM Chris Patrick has publicly expressed interest in signing Hutson promptly, envisioning him paired with recently acquired defenseman Timothy Liljegren. Hutson maintains communication with Capitals forward Ryan Leonard and has indicated openness to joining Washington.
