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

[MarioLeMoose]

Like I said , 150 pounds for a defensman is NOT good for nhl no matter how good he is. And he is not mcdavid good

Like everybody said, he is still years away and NOT in the nhl next year no matter how good he is. And he is not done growing.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Jiri Kulich; take a seat

Hutson recovers nicely and deny him

 

[Team_Spirit]

Nice read on the hockey news

[Natey]

I hope he succeeds at defense. But he seems like a prime candidate to become a winger if he doesn't gain any weight.

He will gain weight for sure, and possibly a bit of height. Not many strong offensive Ds when young turn into NHL wingers. Deslauriers maybe?

I'm thinking more of a Mark Streit type.

God I loved him.

 

[Alexandre Magny]

Je pense plus à un type de Mark Streit.

Dieu que je l'aimais.

Il sera supérieur à Streit défensivement parlant aucun doute.

More than "tanking", what Cup winners have in common the most is offence generated from the back end.

The 74-75 Flyers, 1999 Stars, and the 1996 Avalanche were the only exceptions since 1969.

If you're gonna pick small...go BIG with players like Caufield and Hutson!!!

I can't wait to see Hutson on the ice feeding Caufield for his 30th or 40th or 50th goals!! (2 yrs from now? whenever Hutson gets to 180lbs - 185lbs...5'10 or maybe even 5'11).

Sidenote: with talented/fun to watch (but small) players like Caufield and Hutson...it's good we'll have X-Man (Arber Xhekaj), Jayden Struble, and Fairbrother to be the Habs' policemen.

The future:
Guhle
Barron
Hutson
Harris
Struble
Xhekaj
Mailloux
Fairbrother

Streit was pretty good by the time he went to New York.

 

[Wateredgarden]

He could be a Brian Rafalski type, but even Rafalski was taller than him.

 

[Mister Hab]

He could be a Brian Rafalski type, but even Rafalski was taller than him.

Rafalski was 5'9 - 5'10 (some hockey magazines had him at 5'9). Hutson (right now) is apparently 5'9 (or very close to it...and still growing as we speak...type!). And, we're not talking about going from 5'6 or 5'7 to 5'10!! Hutson is already not far from 5'10.

He's gonna be a good one, no matter what. You just have to pair him with a big/tall dman (X-man? Struble? Mailloux? who won't let Hutson take any abuse/bullying). Is there a young Hal Gill out there?! A rightie (Mailloux) would be better or a leftie who can play the right side.

Hutson may be a late-bloomer when it comes to height...he may end up 5'10...maybe even 5'11...180-185lbs.

He wasn't drafted to play now/soon. More likely when he's 20-21....so still time to grow and add some pounds!

He will be so exciting to watch!!

 

[admiralcadillac]

What I don't think some people realize with the bone growth delay is that also includes the size of the bones themselves, not just their length. You gain about 10 pounds per inch of height on average, but if you grow larger as well you're adding even more weight. He could be well above 170-180 within a year.

 

[Gillings]

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

Why not select him 10th OV?

 

[le_sean]

Not sure who else here was at the draft, but Hutson got the loudest cheers for all Habs picks on the 2nd day, by far. The nerds that actually went to Day 2 know the type of talent the Habs lucked into.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Hey that's Cole Caufield!

Rafalski was 5'9 - 5'10 (some hockey magazines had him at 5'9). Hutson (right now) is apparently 5'9

He was 5'8.25 at the combine

 

[KevSkillz4]

Hey that's Cole Caufield!



He was 5'8.25 at the combine

And the doctor of Hutson say he can grow at 5"10, even 5"11. If he reach that... Hutson is going to be a solid defenseman, no doubt about that. Even at 5"9, Krug is 5"9... if Krug can play really good hockey, Hutson can do that, he have the talent to product at NHL.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Beck si il devient un Danault sera toute une prise, il a déjà un gabarit de 6 P et environ 190 lbs, il est hyper rapide et côté mise en jeux a frolé les 61 % et ce a 17 ans en plus d'amener de l'offensive.


Je vois a coup sur Slafkowski,Beck et Hutson jouer les 3 dans la LNH d'ici 3 ans max, ce sera moins pour Slaf mais Beck et Hutson pourrait tout les deux jouer 2 ans avant de faire le saut , Beck en jouant à 18 et 19 ans Junior et Hutson en jouant 2 ans à l'uni.

Il est très cérébral aussi. Un atout de plus.

Encore plus vrai pour Hutson, d'ailleurs.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Just stats, but in same age and same leagues... he have better stats than Quinn Hughes and Adam Fox.

Adam Fox:

Hey that's Cole Caufield!

...you're right, my bad...

His face reminded me of someone, then it clicked. Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin in Gotham.
