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

[26Mats]

He literally told a journalist himself lol.

self-promotion is a big thing for shorter hockey players, lol. They regularly lie about their heights.

 

[Mrb1p]

Stop.
Suggesting.
Defenseman.
Become.
Forwards.

Ill have you know Markov did it

Price would have been a better forward than goalie, that's for damn sure

We would have a cup already if he had made the switch

Carey Price > Wayne

Do you guys think Lane sleeps upside down like a vampire?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Doesn't this recognition have a height requirement???

I personally give 0 shit about his height.. 5'7 or 5'10 it ain't making much of a difference here. He's a slight guy so even if he was 5'10 he's going to have to defend and think the same way.

Every team in the league passd on drafting MSL..................................He goes on to the HOF and gives everyone the middle finger......
The height can be an issue, for most.....................but for some of those kids, they possess other talents, that helps them overcome another weakness.

As we all know, stay tuned, but it sure seems we have a real player on our hands here.

It doesn't matter since he's going to be 5'11", based on the evidence we have.

2 goals tonight for Hutson.

Have to think if Hutson continues at this pace there would be Hobey Baker discussion. I don't think he wins it but maybe a nomination? He looks great out there.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Moreso than his size, the thing that might hold him back from the NHL is his skating.

Not because it's bad, but he likes to have the puck on his stick and his skating might prevent him from keeping the same style in the pros that is making him so successful in the NCAA. If he alters his game in the pros, will there be enough in there to make the NHL as a 5'5 D?

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

What's encouraging about Hutson is that he's dominating the NCAA with the exact same style of play he had in the USDP, there's always concerns with young freshman D that they will be overcoached and take a while to come out of their offensive shells. Hutson plays with extreme confidence and looks to create goal scoring chances every shift.

I was a huge Lane homer pre draft, and while I was wrong about where we would pick him (wanted him with CGY pick), he has still surpassed my D+1 expectations of him. I was begging people to watch Cooley and Nazar's highlight tapes because no matter who was being featured, Hutson was always keeping plays alive and making the other players look good. I watched a few minutes of Cooley's tape and it seemed like Hutson was the one driving all the offense.

I heard from a trusted source recently that he is somewhere between 5"4 and 5"11

I think his offense was really projectable to the superior level. Even in the NHL, I think he could become special with the puck. He is too sneaky and smart. Every moves are calculated with the puck, always thinking one step aheah.

The question mark is and will always be defensively...

Seems reputable to me

If he continues at this pace, he should be a candidate. The award is Fantili's to lose though

He doesn't look like a stud defensively from what I've seen but for a freshman D it doesn't look bad to me.

What I got my fingers crossed for is a Caufield like leap from D+1 to D+2. Where he fleshes out his game and gets faster. You don't produce the way he is at this level without being pretty damn special.

 

[Destopcorner]

Hope he gets the hatty tonight. Kid have what it takes to destroy Fox records.

He’s pretty good defensively, he was in the USDP and still is now in the NCAA but yeah at the next level it’s still a question mark. I’d say he’s better defensively than Quinn Hughes was at the same age. He will need to get stronger physically but it comes naturally.

He already has more goals than Makar's year as a freshman, not that he's Makar lol, but dam impressive

2 buts aujourd'hui donc maintenant 6 buts et 14 points en 12 matchs a sa première saison NCAA. Assez Hallucinant Merci. Je le redis je le vois jouer une 2ème saison NCAA l'an prochain mais ensuite je le vois faire le saut chez les pros.

 

[HuGort]

We certainly have good farm system. Everyday I come in here it's positive posts about Beck,Heineman, Mailloux, Hutson, Mesar. Well we drafted high this draft plus traded good players for extra picks. Guys like Toffoli, Lekhonen. Only makes sense.

 

[Scriptor]

Hmm, more like junior PK Subban.

Just tuned into ESPN+, Peter Griffin calling the game lol.

Really? How? The games aren't remotely close in style. Where's the link for you?

Ça dépendra de son développement physique, selon moi. Je vois Hutson terminer ses quatre ans dans le Collégial et faire le saut directement dans la Ligue Nationale.

Can't wait to see what he does in the World Juniors. This kid is going to be something special. I can just feel it.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Not to shabby for a Lilliputian.
