turns the puck over more than he should, goes to one spot and waits for someone to pass it to him, can't play any defense. Caps are mostly a 4 on 5 team when he's out there. He's had a great career but farther time has caught up to him. I'd like to see him retire as the great 8 and move on.

The Caps were really hurt by the Dubois injury. -- OrlandoHokie Mar 28, 2026 at 01:28 PM ET

Their lack of center depth is one problem -- capitals1 Mar 28, 2026 at 06:19 PM ET

I love the youth, but Hutson's size as a defenseman is pretty alarming. -- Coach McGuirk Mar 28, 2026 at 01:38 PM ET

Hutson hasn't played a single minute for Hershey** -- Beerman Mar 30, 2026 at 12:34 PM ET

Excellent observation. So what?** -- Coach McGuirk Mar 30, 2026 at 01:09 PM ET

It's concerning, but he is strong. I worry about injury with his size** -- capitals1 Mar 28, 2026 at 05:35 PM ET

If they go 8-1, and everyone above them goes .500 they will squeak in. -- Coach McGuirk Mar 28, 2026 at 12:57 PM ET

I don't think so. He is still productive. 30 goal guys are valuable. But -- Coach McGuirk Mar 28, 2026 at 01:00 PM ET
