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

[tooji]

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.

I find this both fascinating and hilarious that they felt the need to do this, but I guess you only get drafted once and he wanted to plead his case

If he grows 2”, he has Quinn Hughes vibes.

 

[CoupeStanley]

Similar profile and even better stats that Adam Fox at the same age.

Let's hope this bone thing is working out well.

Sportsnet guys said his brothers had the same delayed growth.

Just an FYI his CHL rights are owned by Kingston who also drafted his younger brother this year.

Excellent pick. Love this player. Best value pick of the draft. Should have been a 1st rounder on upside.

Not a slam dunk, but great chance he ends up as the best transition defenseman of the draft.

OH HELL NO

Let him simmer at BU for a couple years then sign him once he's grown to 6'4"

"How is Lane Hutson going to react to the big bodies?"

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.

Mete would've benefited mightily from having someone like MSL. Hopefuly we get it right this time around.

[Canadienna]

Woo! Lots of high upside high risk picks.

Fun times.

Better numbers than Quinn Hughes at same age. Like this pick a lot, hope he grows a bit to help his reach/frame.

Quinn was 1 year younger when he played for the USNDP

Better numbers than Fox tho

 

[Wats]

Quinn was 1 year younger when he played for the USNDP

Thought Quinn was a late birthday. That's why he was in NCAA pre-draft. Granted I'm not serious, I know Hughes is better. He had a way worse u18 roster.

It’s an accurate test … using bone age to chart his growth rather chronological age. Having said that, at 18, he’s running out of runway. At this point it would be pretty rare to grow more than another inch or two.

Love the pick.
