Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[Szechwan]

Quinn Hughes was like -40 over his first 100 nhl games.

I feel bad for the guy. The major sports media in Canada is pushing him relentlessly and he needs time to grow his game. Instead they're talking like he's the next Makar or some shit and putting all this pressure on him.

Feel worse for him for playing on a team that just threw him to the wolves.

So after his first 2 seasons he was -34? Sorry I guess I was off by 6.

Through the first 23 games of 20-21 he was -13
So -23 after 100 games

 

[NailsHoglander]

The amount of people who want to see him fail is weird.

It is weird but also very typical of this board for any player that has hype

I mean you also said -40 in 100gp, which is very different.

Quinn had some rough games before he got acclimated, but he only had a single -4 game in his entire first season. Hutson has two in like 8 games.

Maybe he figures it out too, maybe he doesn't, but the relentless comparisons from Habs fans is why people laugh when he gets destroyed like this.

 

[Quinning]

-8 in his last 3 games...brutal.

He's fun to watch but he can't defend worth shit. Needs to add at least 15-20lbs.

I don’t like the comparisons either
But look at the habs backend tonight. Nhl games before this season in brackets

Hutson (2)
Mailloux (1)
Barron (94)
Struble (56)
Matheson
Savard

Pretty inexperienced group. Montreal was a lottery team last year. Rangers top team in the league.

Pretty unfair to draw any conclusions from him playing the role he’s been tossed into at this point in his career but hf gonna hf

It was -34 after 129 games. I wasn't exactly way off. Pretty good off the top of my head to be honest.

oh now it's too early to draw any conclusions, I am confused as I thought his first few games were enough for most fans to call him the next Makar/Hughes

 

[HabzSauce]

I've watched almost every shift and all he does is skate around the offensive zone eventually going into the corners with nine times out of ten the puck being turned over.

Who cares how often he has the puck when despite the zone time, the team is absolutely getting crushed in the end.

Watch Quinn Hughes play even in his worst season in the North div, Quinn has never floundered the way this kid does.

You guys refuse to see what's so painfully obvious and that is he's not only not gonna learn in this scenario but he's been regressing as teams shake the rust out and study video of him.

There's no shame in admitting he's overmatched and needs to be sent down to work on his game.

I don't think AHL is the answer. He's too smart, too skilled. I think he develops better in the NHL. Habs can live with his defensive mishaps this year. We're garbage anyways

What doesn't help him is his usage. Averaging over 23min/game right out the gate is too much

Hutson is on pace for a -78 after 100.

I didn't see anyone calling him the next Makar/Hughes.

I have seen many people drawing comparisons in regards to his skill and IQ. Big difference

You’re clearly confusing me with someone else

That someone who considers your opinion important

Just a few pages ago there was a habs fan calling him Hughes 2.0 and another fan directly comparing him to Hughes.

You should quote those posts to call that poster out, not pretend that it’s the opinion of all habs fans

You should bet money on that.

Hahaha, you clearly haven't been reading this thread.

I am neutral on him as a player but dawg looks like a weirdo.

Not a good bet to make, because he'll get sent down before he reaches that low.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Guys, even Nick Lidstrom was -4 once. He should at least be as good as Rory Fitzpatrick.

Then the Hab's need to get him an actual good veteran D partner that can cover for him. Sadly there isn't much available but I'd think Tj Brodie, Bogosian, or even Ceci would work better in that role then Savard.

The blackhawks did a nice job getting reliable vets short term in Brodie and Martinez.

Hutsons downfall has been great
Dachs downfall has been better

Can’t wait for Demidovs downfall
