Olympics: 2026 U.S. Olympic Team

Holy crap has Lane Hutson looked good this year. His play away from the puck has been excellent. When you can skate like he can, have the IQ and active stick he has, wow I have really come away impressed with him so far. Dreaded sophomore slump potential next year but you can clearly see the makings of another elite US dman right here...

Unless it's in a reserve capacity, wonder if you can really have him while Quinn is still around. With a 4.5 year age gap, he does feel like a natural successor at the least.

Yeah he's likely not in the running next year but for the 28' world cup he is very much in line for top 6 if he continues this next few years.

Just wanted to give his overall play a shout out as he isn't one dimensional at all. Very impressive.

Red Wing players including Larkin, Kane and Debrincat wearing Johnny Hockey USA jerseys today. So cool....

Kane's having a good push to finish the year. If he's healthy and producing next season I wonder if they give him a long look? I also think Knies may be a factor. Shoot, play Kane with Matthews and Knies!

There’s a long list of players that USA Hockey will be calling before Kane. Robertson, Keller, Thompson, Debrincat, Caufield, Tuch, Cooley off the top of my head. With that being said, they may decide they just want him there
