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

[Kudo Shinichi]

I think he ends up with around 25 pts in 35 NCAA games

That would be a fantastic result. For true freshman D, a PPG of 0.5 or above would be pretty big news.

If he nets over 0.9 points per game as a freshman, does Hutson turn pro?

In the interview he did with Mccagg it was clear he has a huge chip on his shoulder to proove everyone wrong and wants to make the NHL now.

I believe it will depend on how he develops physically. If he gets to 5'10, 180 then yes I think he doesn't stay a second year. but putting on 20lbs is tough in a year.

Agreed. 20 lbs will come in the summer of 2023. He will then play one more year of college and turn pro in Summer of 2024. Id expect him to start 2024/25 with AHL, with the chance to graduate to the big club as the season progresses. He is our most enticing D prospect, but furthest from the show.

Will all likely arrive before Lane. That is a lot of youth on the back end.

hard to say as BU disappointed and struggled at times with the offense. Would BU put the 2 mini's together on the top PP unit as Fensore was their top scoring D last year but he's listed at 5'7. So not sure they will do that which would mean Hutson's would be on the 2nd PP unit (Fensore was close to a ppg last year and led BU in points)

The other thing is do they get Skoog back, who I know was at an NHL development camp or invited if it hasn't happened yet. He was their top point producing forward last year (have said many times we should be interested in him, he was often Tuch's centerman during his Freshman year)

Hutson sera pas loin du point par match a sa 1ère année selon moi , je suis peut-être trop positif a son endroit mais bon a suivre.

Pffff, a solid poutine, pizza and mickeyDs diet will get you there in no time

 

[Skip Bayless]

This thread should not be bumped until the official announcement of him reaching 5'11"

 

[dcyhabs]

I thought the only problem with Hutson was size. McKeens columnist, 2022 NHL DRAFT: Let's Have a Conversation about Lane Hutson .., thinks the main problem is that he's a small guy who isn't fast enough. Fundamental and difficult to fix skating issues to be able to succeed in the NHL.

High risk, high reward. Even if he fails he'll be fun.

I agree!

I took on 40 pounds in less than 2 years during covid lol. Beer and video games is the secret

With Mailloux, Barron and Lane on the horizon, Montreal's defence will be transformed from what has recently been among the most pedestrian in the league to one of the most dynamic. Therein lies the foundation for this proud franchise's return to relevancy.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

My nomination for the Habs prospect in this draft with the most prospect threads written about him ...

 

[Skip Bayless]

He must reach the 5'11" threshold before the discussion even begins.

Barron has a lot of potential with what a great skater he is.

I hope we're patient with him as fans. Let him learn by his mistakes.

 

[Kojo]

Did he grow taller yet?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Did he grow taller yet?

Only if he's standing on his tippy toes.

 

[tooji]

Hutson - 1a, +1. made some good defensive plays, not sure why they didn't use him during the 3 on 3 OT though.

Hutson and Cooley seem to have great chemistry. Could have been a fun alternate universe picking both

Yeah, shows you how good Cooley is when he's playing with other high IQ guys vs Snuggerud and Gauthier

I don't want to misquote you, but I thought you said Jimmy Snuggerud was the mensa-like hockey super brain driving that line...

No, I really disliked Snuggerud because I felt his IQ was horrendous.
