He can still grow a couple of inches easy, Makar is 5'11"

 

[Skip Bayless]

17 min. per, PP specialist if everything goes well

 

[Habs10Habs]

MIDGET POWER!

Yes I know that's not politically correct. IDC, I'm so looking forward to watching him progress over the next few years.

The centre switching his stick over for the faceoff. Always love to see it.

Soon people will be using their leg to tie up a stick and using their stick to move the puck

I was 5'6 at 12. They thought I had a good chance to hit 5'10 to 6'0. I topped out at 5'7. lol

Friend of mine who's kid has played with him said Hutson is a treat to watch. Also said his dad is a bit of a nightmare in that he'll do anything to get him to the NHL regardless of how many bridges he burns. Hopefully, if true, this does not impede his development. And hopefully he grows 3' and puts on 20-30 lbs of muscle. A lot to like with this pick.

 

[cphabs]

Caufield can finally look into one of his teamates eyes now

Fantastic

 

[NotProkofievian]

This is my brand of hopium.

 

[cphabs]

Is there a picture of all of our draft picks together? Thanks in advance!

 

[BenchBrawl]

What the f*** does that even mean? Sounds like going to a diseuse de bonne aventure disguised with a veneer of science and medicine lmao

"Hello, team-that-wants-to-draft-me, here's my paper from the Doctor, indicating I still have 7.8 cm of growth left based on advanced testing of my bones that were revealed to be 68 days and 3 hours delayed compared to average".

This is crazy talk.

His growth will be whatever it is, can't predict it.

 

[cphabs]

Somebody make sure he drinks lots of milk, gets at least 7h of sleep each night, doesn't carry heavy equipment on his back, and make him swim all summer long.

Yep

Big Chad and mini Chad secured.

Is Juraj around? Would be cool to have a picture of him and Lane.

Yes please!

 

[Wateredgarden]

Without his insane athleticism he wouldn't be nearly as dominant.

Water is wet.

Sounds like a dad who knows how good his kid is and isn't gonna let misconceptions in his size be the reason he's unable to pursue his dream.

 

[LaP]

There's a chance that happens. He's done bone age x-rays and his brother grew to their fathers height (5'11) after his 18th birthday.

Very happy with this pick.

If this guy gets to 5'10+ i personally think this pick might be the steal of the draft.

Maybe but that's not the way my friend described it haha

just to chime in with all the growth spurt stories, I had a very late one when I was around 21 that took me from 6’ to 6’2”.

So it’s still possible for him to grow, but I don’t think it’ll be anything significant.

His brother and dad are 5’11 so it’s likely that’s around where he ends up, which is perfectly suitable to still be an impact NHL d man with the skillset he possesses

 

[Scintillating10]

Hutson put up better numbers for US team than Adam Fox in his draft year

 

[habsfan92]

lots of milk

Doctor use science and statistics to do that. I was followed by a doc until I was 13 years old (the first few years it was every 3 months) because I did the exact opposite: gaining weight and height too fast. The doc said I would normalize* at 18-20 years old and she was right.

*Rejoin the normal curve for weight/height. I stopped growing at 13 years old, but I was as tall and heavy as an adult when I did.
