Hutson has more points than Logan Cooley in less games played

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

It's a difference of 1 inch. Lanes brother is 5 11

It's 2+ inches

You just named All forwards except for spurgeon. Being a 5'8 dman is different. The odds are just against him. Blinding yourself to that is foolish.

What are these odds?

 

[EXTRAS]

What are these odds?

Low

So… is anyone trying to make a point here? Like for example is anyone saying Hutson is a better prospect than Cooley? That he should have been drafted ahead of Cooley? That Hutson should have been drafted higher? Tell me.

ahh.... uhh... hmmmm

Discuss?

 

[ijuka]

If I consider how they both looked at u-18s which was the only time I really saw both play, this is not at all surprising.

Well I didn't see enough of the players, but I definitely thought Hutson was much better then Cooley at u-18s.

I know it's blasphemy here on these forums to try to discuss that a second rounder is better than a top 5 pick before they make the NHL and perform esp after just a few months after their draft.

So no one's gonna bother.

But if this was the mlb, the rankings would be based on performance and skillset and far less than draft selection.

I don't think Cooley is relevant to the discussion.

The discussion should be is Lane Hutson going to be one of the biggest steals of the draft, if not the greatest steal of the draft?

LMAO why not wait a little bit and see how some of these players work out before calling Hutson the steal of the draft. sounds as foolish as if us Leafs fans were to say Robertson was the steal of the draft finding him in the 2nd round after he broke out in the AHL.

this threads a joke. no one in their right mind would select Hutson over Cooley. awesome you guys found something good in the 2nd round but this is just straight up nonsense and the habs fans that are part of this should be embarrassed

It would be ridiculous but that's why we're fans to hope it becomes true

This is a troll thread and people are biting as hell. It should be merged with his prosepct thread.

Merged no. Stickied yes!

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

You mean like when Philly took 6’2 Patrick over 5’11 Makar

Or maybe Philly taking 5’11 York over 5’7 Caufield

Great argument though with the height thingy

To be fair, it isn't height that you should be looking at, it's BMI/thickness. It's the 155 pounds that concerns people. What does 25 pounds do to his above average skating?

 

[Arthur Morgan]

should be happy if he becomes a solid NHLer..... putting expectations that he's already better than Cooley is just stupid

You still here?

 

[Haatley]

Habs have the second most annoying fanbase.

Calling Lane Hutson better than Cooley, Fox and Hughes after 12 NCAA games.

 

[Peasy]

But has Hutson scored a Michigan?

 

[Legend123]

Why? Cooley is also a prospect.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

You still here?

on HFBoard? yes.... yes I am.

Why? Cooley is also a prospect.

umm one was drafted 3rd overall and the other 62nd overall....

For the record.....no one is saying he is going to be better than those three....what he is doing however is better than what they did or in the case of Cooley are doing. I think we debate the relevance of that fact in a friendly and informative manner.

Who is more annoying?

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Capfriendly has Cooley at 5'11"
and Hutson at 5'8"
either way Cooley is the better prospect

Hutson is 5'9" now, Hutson is more dominant and spectacular than Cooley, and he plays on the second pair of D, and the second wave on the PP, mega steal by the Habs, remember, Caufield is too small, he won't score in the NHL, well Hutson is in the same mold has Caufield, and he's taller, Hutson will become one of the best offensive D in the NHL, no doubt about it.

I guess we will just have to take Montreal's homerism word for it.

Nick Lidstrom was drafted 53rd overall

How is he doing better than Fox?

Fox had 40 points in 35 games his first year in the NCAA. That is the pace Hutton is on.

I think you are here gloating ovse a 12 game sample size and it will bite you in the ass eventually.

It's not black and white. Situations dictate how players perform. Its more about how they skate, shoot, hit. Conditioning. It's easy to say "14 points in 12 games is better than 14 points in 14 games so he's the better player obviously and should have been take 3rd overall" but it's not true.

Leaf fans lol. But you're right there with them.

Is it Montreal’s homerism or Montreal’s haterd? Most habs fan would take Cooley, of course, but it’s funny to see habs haters jumping on this thread to put us all in the same boat (like you just did). Also, no claim was done by the OP. This thread delivered.

They're just frustrated because their team didn't pick him.
