Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm a Sens fan and I love watching him play. That play he had the other day fending off Tkachuk and setting up a goal was impressive. Anyone who's watched this guy play knows he's insanely good and his skillset is rare. He controls the play, he always has the puck, he's elusive, he has great vision and a good shot. He's so fun to watch and Montreal plays hard and with pace, he's a major reason for that.


This guy is a star already. After 82 games people will realize just how good he is.

There is no point in criticizing him at this point. When he does something special, his proponents will rightly point out how exciting he is. When he has a poor game, they will rightly point out that he's just 20 and will have growing pains.

Honestly, don't feed the bear with him and Michkov, for that matter. Nobody is getting off the hype train for a long time, unfortunately.

Nor should they. Until he proves that some of these growing pains are permanent issues, people are right to be excited. He has the potential to be a top 5 offensive defenseman. Once he learns to pick his spots better, all that's left is to become passable defensively, which I think a player with his intelligence should be able to do.

He may never be a legit top pairing defenseman, but he's showing the potential to be a 70+ point offensive QB, which is still a pretty exciting prospect for a kid picked so late in the draft.

Habs still have the most cups post-expansion. Not that it matters though.

They are definitely the franchise with the most history but I agree it doesn’t matter. Hell I’m getting to the point to where the Devils cups are too long ago to be bragging about even though I got to watch them win all 3 of them.

I watched most of the Pens/Habs game today. Hutson stood out on many shifts. I was impressed. Reminded me of Makar slightly they way he was skating around.

I did as well. He definitely has skill and what noticeable to that extent, but he was pretty bad defensively as well. No big deal, he's a small, very young D, he'll get better.

I noticed Karlsson more...he was horrendous. It's almost like he has no idea where he should be or what he should be doing (even when he's back in his own end). I lost count how many times I was asking "why is Karlsson in the crease or in the corner, etc. in the offensive end. I get that it happens on a rush from time to time, but this is during the play in the end....if you are joining the rush as a D, as soon as the rush is done you get back to the point....it's taught very early on. So, so, so many times, the winger or centre are skating back hard as the puck goes the other way to join the other D to try and stop a rush.

I was 20 when the Devils won their first. Went through some really rough years before that but I’ll never forget it. I guess the reason I’m ready to move on from their 30 year history is because they seem ready to contend again within the next couple of years.

I hope habs fans aren't gonna come in here and defend Lane from trolls every time he has some -next to his name , Ask ottawa fans , ask Vancouver fans , ask Colorado fans , ask Rangers fans , the juice is not worth the squeeze , just enjoy the kid for what he is , ( Im not equating him to Makar Karlson or Hughes and Fox but its the same narrative all these guys had to go through). Just enjoy them and let the haters hate from far. You guys will be wasting paragraphs doing otherwise

Did you notice how Matheson, Savard and Barron were awfully horrendous? We, habs fans, have the privilege to see it every games:naughty:

I honestly think you guys talk more about the "haters" than there is actual hate.

He's a fun player and has a bright future.

I didn't pay much attention really, wouldn't have paid too much attention to Hutson either other than the fans forcing me to. They cheered whenever he touched the puck (early in the game anyway)....thought that was odd. I don't watch a ton of Habs games (being in Toronto).

I do watch a fair amount of PIT games, but not really a ton.....for Karlsson, I think I'm perhaps looking for him because he's Karlsson.
 
He has the skill set to do special things in the nhl. I’m going to sit back and enjoy. I’ll just laugh when your best forward looks like he stepped on a pile of marbles lol.

There is no validity in anointing him as a top d of the future or saying he’ll never be able to defend. The kid hasn’t even hit double digit game in the nhl lol
