Confirmed with Link: Canadiens sign Lane Hutson to ELC (2023/24-2025/26) - Sweater#48

[Redux91]

There’s nothing more for him to learn at BU. He’ll be in the AHL next year.

I want Hutson-Reinbacher tandem for 50+ AHL games next year baby

 

[The Last Red]

You are right: "nothing to learn". But it doesn't make him bigger and stronger. There is a huge step between College and pro hockey, even if it is AHL.

I don’t think he’ll spend much time, if any, in the AHL, but the Habs might dress 7 D frequently to let him start as a PP specialist initially.

 

[Prettyisland]

Another year of college would not have been the move… he needs a challenge not another year of being completely dominant

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Let's goo
Now sign Quinn and draft Cole, and we'll have our future top-line of
Hutson - Hutson - Hutson

The Montreal-based law firm of Hutson, Hutson and Hutson!

I think that’s exactly what you’re going to get

No one is challenging this. You already understand how it work from your previous post, he is a top NCAA talent he get decide when he turn pro and he got leverage. So this is what it is.

Hutson - Struble is probably the pairing we will see in the game Lane plays

Struble doesn't play the right side, I would put Hutson with Savard so he can play with a veteran

I'm at the airport in Detroit with a measuring tape, souhaitez-moi bonne chance.

Let's wish him good luck and a great NHL career !

It's not about learning, we already know he has extraordinary IQ, it's about getting faster and stronger. It's about physical maturity, especially for a very small D. Again, he will be the smallest D to play a game in the NHL this year. Sean Farrell should be a red flag for all Lane's fans, and Farrell is a wigner. A lot of similarities with Hutson, high IQ, great vision, but small ans not very fast. Now Farrell is no longer seen as a legit prospect for the NHL.

He’ll probably come in around 170-ish pounds. Yeah it’s light but it’s far better than when he was drafted. I think he’ll be okay.

 

[Mikah]

No needs to play him vs Ottawa who are always gooning it up against Habs. With no Xhekaj around, they could take liberties with the kid. Detroit is more suitable. And he is from not that far from there. All his family should be at the arena.

That being said, Montreal is not exactly trying to win against Ottawa...

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Now I'm going to be torn between wanting to see him light up the Red Wings and wanting us to lose

Both can happen Hutson scores 5 goals 4 assists and we lose 9-10

It’s not that you are wrong, it’s just missing that pragmatic view of the whole thing; NCAA players hold all the cards.

So in HIS case, that pragmatism dictates that you secure the contract, burn the year and THEN you use your own farm system to work on what you pointed on.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He's playing Tuesday 100000%.

At home, can control his matchups slightly, Detroit isn't a real tough team at all.

 

[Tyson]

Fowler won't be signed this year. I expect him to go back for a 2nd year.

Signing Fowler after his freshman season would be absolutely stupid

Hey Slaf, Lane wants #20

Can’t take 2 either. That belongs to Mr Harvey.

My dad use to tell me stories of Doug Harvey's greatness.

 

[Treb]

I understand the excitement, but man... that is premature.

Might as well cash in on Matheson unless they think can compete next year.

 

[FLHabs]

Pretty exciting times for sure! I wonder if the 2 games against a desperate Detroit team will be enough to get a projection about how well his game will translate to the NHL.

Looking forward to hear about a Tuch announcement too. Tuch and Florian could make for 2/3 of a pretty fun 4th line in the coming years

Benoit Brunet’s cursed #22???

 

[Tyson]

If you want to truly build a solid 4th line you have to consider signing Luke Tuch who has spent 4 seasons developing.

Caufield's number?

Either Slaf of Caufield cough up the juice. That’s it
