Prospect Info: [2022 - 62nd] Lane Hutson (NCAA - Boston University)

Hutson growing curve is going to be my favorite storyline for the next two years.

 

[DailyKaizen]

So is this guy's nickname Bones? It's gotta be.

For god's sake @Ezpz he is a hockey player not a doctor on the starship Enterprise.

Let's say 4 years.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Why? 240lbs might be his ideal weight. Some guys with big frames look sickly of they get to light. Slaf hadn't filled out yet and some reports have him at 230lbs. I'm guessing his "man weight" will be 240.

Because there's a point where too much bulk starts to impact a player's mobility. That and the heavier he is, the harder it gets on his knees/ankles/ligaments. He's apparently about 220 right now and that should be the right ball park for him IMO.

Edit: Correction, they have him listed as 229 on the team website. That's real big for an 18 year old player The kid is massive.

 

[Habano]

Didn't know him much. Looked up his hilights and the kid looks like a stud. Checked himont on Elite prospects and both his father and brother are 5'11". He's young so he may still grow an inch or 2.

Question, HockeyDB has him listed at 148lbs and EP has him at 159. Do we know his real weight?

There is word he has even taller family members. So some think he might end up 6’5 or 6’6+. So those extra pound wouldn’t be so critical. But he’s already a monster and big Ds in men’s leagues can’t move him.

If he hits a solid 5'9 we should be grateful to the hockey gods.

He’s 159 now. Put on 10 lbs on his routine.

Hutson is already 5’9”.

 

[SlafySZN]

Hutson is already 5’9”.

No he’s 5’8 according to the combine measurement!

If we want to continue the slaf talk we should prbly go to the right thread.

But I'll say looking at him he hasn't naturally filled out yet (most 18 year Olds havent) based on his shoulder width vs height. I'm betting he's 240lbs for most of his career.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Too Much?

 

[Saxon]

Who cares about his height...

31 other teams thankfully!!!

 

[Saundies]

Get this kid a meal plan at BU and he'll put on 15-20 lbs in no time.

 

[Habricot]

Was about to comment Bouillon was 5'8" too and was nowhere as dynamic and such a great passer but he had a good career. If he can grow another inch or 2, gain a good 20 pounds and keep that fire inside, daaamn.... playing with an Edmunson type, he could be reeally good. Nice swing there hugo, might connect and fwiiiiiii, hit the scoreboard.

But Bouillon was not 148lbs and was strong as a bull for his size.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

All I know is getting him in the late 2nd made my bone grow

2022 NHL Combine Heights & Weights - The Hockey Writers NHL Entry Draft Latest News, Analysis & More

The 2022 NHL Combine is back live on this first Saturday of June. With that, we have the heights and weights of prospects who tested.

thehockeywriters.com

5-foot-8.25, 158 pounds at the 2022 NHL Draft Combine. EP (with rounding) is much more accurate.

 

[zzoo]

In 2018, I was praying that we could Svechnikov. God didn't grant me that wish.
In 2019, I was praying hard for Caufield. God loved me.
In 2020, I was hoping that we could get Rossi or Perfetti. God didn't love me.
In 2021, with the 31st pick, I didn't pray at all.
In 2022, I was praying that we could get Hutson. God loves me again.

 

[NewDef]

But Bouillon was not 148lbs and was strong as a bull for his size.

Oh I know, he was a big man for his height. If he ends up a 5'10" 180 pounds, I would be exstatic!

 

[Paddy17]

I hope all these "coaches" can give him the correct training regime so that he adds mass and power only in the right areas.

It doesn't matter as Lane Hutson and Bouillon have different playstyles. Hutson plays a game that is much closer to Gaudreau than that of Bouillon. You don't need to be big to play a high-pace, puck hogging game. You need to skate like the wind, have hands of silk, incredible vision and cardio for days.

 

[Archijerej]

Too Much?

Nope. Our brand new development staff is already on it.

 

[waitin425]

Change the title of this to the "Official Lane Hutson Growth watch thread"

I want week by week updates on height and weight.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Still can’t believe he went late round 2 to the Edmonton pick. I was surprised he made it to the Calgary pick and would have selected him there lol

I was wondering that too. If anything, it would be good for him to play a little lighter than that, in my opinion, especially as a forward. I wouldn't want him heavier than that. Ovi went through a rebirth after he lost weight.
