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

[Adam Michaels]

He doesn't look that small besides his teamates.
Caufield looks like a real midget, no taller than Desharnais.

The "worry" fans have is that it's more common for small forwards to have success, but it's uncommon for a D Hutson's size to be a full-time NHL'er.

There are some examples of smaller D that have had good careers like Krug and Spurgeon (both are 5'9"). And Hutson will have another year or two of college before he turns pro. So he has time to put on weight and grow.

Nice skill, but honestly the white RW and RD should have been fired on the spot.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Just put the sheriff on a pair with Hutson in 3-4 years

It was a pp.......there was no RW on the ice for the pk.

What an endless quagmire this height thing is going to be without official measurements from a reliable source.

It's not like guys never obssess over a few inches

[Skip Bayless]

He looks 5'10 to me.

One more inch to go.

Hutson with Mailloux could be a fun duo to watch in the AHL next year.

I know. And you know what I meant.

Both D went into Keystone Cop mode there. lol

 

[Mrb1p]

Notable bad skater, Lane Hutson.

If I was Wideman I would be seeing the handwriting on the wall.

True, but I think Hutson stays in the NCAA next year.

I can't wait to see what numbers he'll put up then.

Spoken like someone is challenged in the ''Peter Johnson'' department. lol.

 

[c3z4r]

He was 5'8", so if he's grown 2 inches, he's 5'10".

All we know for sure is that he was measured at 5’8” at the Habs rookie camp back in July, and he’s now listed at 5’9” on the BU roster.

Could you walk me through your whole logic, because it makes absolutely no sense.

I make a derison of guys who obsess over it and usually, those are the ones who are challenged.

Thanks for trying though.

To come up with that, you must've felt triggered and slighted, meaning you might actually belong to that category who obsess over it.

Wideman knows he's playing on borrowed time, but he's also getting paid peanuts...so there's that.

Anyways, I don't see Hutson in the NHL till the 2024-2025 season, and Wideman's contract will be done at that point.

He surely does. But he also must be pretty happy playing here since he got out of Russia before shit went down.

You call 700 grand peanuts?

 

[Naslundforever]

Pffff… He forgot to back pass while skating backwards staring at the coach. Not ready for the hab pp yet.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

You call 700 grand peanuts?

By NHL standards it is

Yeah that “growth” is more likely someone rounding up 5’8 1/2”

 

[FrankMTL]

LOL, for me that's a fortune....But for the NHL, it's peanuts.

 

[Habsfan18]

2 goals tonight including the OT winner.
