GDT: Game 65: Montreal @ Seattle, March 12, 10:30 PM ET | TSN2, RDS, KHN, KING 5, KONG

Imagine drafting Slafkovsky and Hutson in the same draft.

Masterclass by Habs scouts.

the future redraft gonna look good

 

[ChikN]

He also had a mean streak when provoked, I'll never forget the Tucker elbow. Good times!

I've never seen someone do something like that ever. Truly a unique sequence and super skilled in it's own way.

 

[HabbyGuy]

To be fair, is there any forward that was better than Kovalev the past 20 years?

Suzuki is up there. But I hear you. Demidov is going to be Kovalev 2.0 can't wait!

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

#75 with the acrobatics, it's fun to watch lol

 

[HuGo Sham]

Go Habs go GNight peeps

 

[Rapala]

Yup, he's a f***ing beast. Wright is skilled, but soft as shit. We need Slafkovsky and we definitely need him to succeed.

He needs to figure out how to bring out second-half Slaf over the whole season, but Suzuki went through that, too. Often got off to solid starts, slumped mid-season then had a decent end.

Actually it bodes well for the post season. Slaf wouldn't be the first big body who seems to gain an extra gear when the games ramp up. He's on the perfect line for that he really doesn't have to look to far to find some inspiration.

Suzuki is better. Different, but more valuable and better well rounded.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

That's all the way in freaking Scarberia.

Yeeeeeup.

But it’s a hell of a lot better than driving to Montreal.

 

[Skip Bayless]

This never gets tiring.

All time classic.

 

[the]

Suzuki is better.

No way!

 

[KevSkillz4]

the future redraft gonna look good

For sure.

Clearly Hutson is the #1

Cooley//Slaf battle for the #2.

Slaf package is more impressive than Cooley, so that would be my #2.

He's getting there. We all forget how young he is. Consistency takes time. Caufield and Suzuki are reaching for their potential at 23-24. Slaf is only, what? 20?

Slaf at 22-30 will show why he was 1st OA. Oh guys, I see great years ahead!

 

[Pure Laine]

Ok let's goooo

 

[The Great Weal]

Why are we talking about Wright/Cooley here? We're going for the playoffs while those two are working on their golf swing.

 

[Runner77]

Seattle with 4 picks in the 2nd round of the 2022 draft, found a way not to draft Lane Hutson.

 

[Rozz]

Hutson on the bench... thank God

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Cameras catching Lane Hutson picking his nose and examining it.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

No way!

He's more important in his role, and the points are there now. He's a superior hockey player, but Kovalev had magical skill. They are different, as much as I loved Kovalev, still my favorite Hab post 93 cup win. But I think Suzuki is a better complete player.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Alright, let's get the 2 points boys!!

 

[The Great Weal]

Hutson on the ice thank god

More complete isn’t necessarily better.


But I agree with you. And I’d take CC too.

 

[Runner77]

Only 3 Ds have more points than Lane Hutson since the start of the season.

 

[The Great Weal]

This is the most comfortable I've seen Laine move. Hope it lasts, that'd be a game changer.

 

[MasterD]

I love this young team! We haven't had young guns like this in for ever, + Demidov and Reinbacher! Future is bright

Last time would have been the 2007-2008-2009. Ryder, Kostitsynx2, Higgins, Plekanec, Markov, Komisarek, Grabovsky, Locke, D'Agostini, Kovalev, Koivu... Future was bright!

 

[Habs13]

Hutson has another assist added, now at 51 points!
