[Kudo Shinichi]

Quinn Hughes 2.0?

Excited by the comments in this thread. If he can develop into our PP specialist or more that's an amazing find at 62.

Can someone tell me a comparable? Like is his ceiling Krug? MAB?

 

[Gustave]

Massive get, massive. He will QB a PP in the NHL regularly.

Interesting tidbit in below article talks about how he has delayed bone growth and has another year of growth in him. So while he’s small, he’s still growing.

A report from Hutson’s endocrinologist indicated his bone age is delayed relative to his biological age, which means his frame still has more than a full year of additional bone growth to go.

He brought some DNA ancestry bullshit to show he'll grow to interviews

And if he does grow a few inches and fill out I'll be even happier!

Omg they keep drafting safe boring players.

LOL, sarcasm I'm assuming.

 

[Bigtrout]

Amazing! Had a feeling Seattle would snag him at 61.

Incredible upside, will be fun to follow this player!

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

He's got Cole and Marty to talk to... Should keep him motivated

It might not seem like a great comparable but he really reminds me of Mete... If Mete had any offensive bone in his body.

Mete made the NHL on pure skating, positioning, and puck movement in his own zone. Hutson to me is all that and then able to QB a PP with lots of offensive upside.

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaly like that pick! We need offensive dman and he is one of the best in this draft. Homerun pick! Can believe we get him that late.

Hughes told to RDS that he tries to move up to draft him and cant make it. We're lucky!

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Maybe he can be our 7th defenseman and only be deployed on the PP?

I mean 5'8" and 160lbs wet is NOT ideal for an NHL defenseman

 

[Milhouse40]

Torye Krug 2.0
With the 62nd pick, it's even sweeter....great pick on this one

Caufield can finally look into one of his teamates eyes now

Hutson is a god offensively. He just need to proof he can cope with the added physicality of the NHL. Ideally he grows to 5'10 and adds 20lbs. But you got a 60-70 pt defenseman in there. No joke.

 

[Clearedwaivers]

Love this pick. I’ll be following his development closely for sure. Very interesting prospect.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I know nothing about the player except for what I read on here but I like the pick a lot .

[staveNsteel]

Agreed. We stole Hutson at 62. People were pissed we didn’t pick him at 33. Calm down people.

I wanted him at 33... This worked out great! Love the possible upside!

I've watched a lot of his tape and I've seen scouts say that he might have had the most skill on that NTDP team. Love the pick, hope he works out!

The US NTDP continues to produce great prospects year after year. The 2022 Draft is no different with defenceman Lane Hutson the tenth player we have profiled from the program so far. Hutson had a huge season with the US NTDP. He put up 10 goals and 53 assists for 63 points in 60 games, playing against USHL opponents and college hockey exhibitions.
