Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[Bluenotes27]

I think there’s a certain rasmus from Calgary that Habs fans should look to acquire to help. (Although I’d rather my leafs acquire to stabilize what they have)

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He’s got a bad plus/minus?

Oh no.

 

[WTG]

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

I didn't say it was the opinion of all habs fans. I mention that a habs fan and another fan who happened to be a Toronto fan compare him to Hughes.

Although I do think that there is sentiment of habs fans is to look at Hughes as a top end comparable to Hutson. Which I do not think is realistic.

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.

Yup it's brutal. I don't see them making any trades for defenceman until summer but if this shit continues you never know. The dream partner for hutson would be Reinbacher if he can get it together but that is years away.

Habs board has been talking about getting Andersson at some point. That is a guy I'd love to target. Not necessarily for Hutson but in general. Would improve the D immensely and allow Guhle to go back on his natural side

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

And comparing to Hughes how? plenty of comparisons in this thread. All fair discussion. The Hughes 2.0 guy is making a funny comment. That's just one fan, were there any others??

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

I've read this entire thread. You should go back and re-read it.

Not blaming Savard, but putting a rookie offensive defenseman with known poor defense skills on a pairing with possibly the worst defenseman in the NHL is not a recipe for success

Unfortunately we don’t even have a better player to pair him with lmfao yikes!

you mean the one where in other threads montreal fans insist his value is a first at the deadline?

 

[TheDoldrums]

You’re clearly confusing me with someone else

That someone who considers your opinion important

well given my cordial experiences with falconing enthusiasts, I had apparently confused you for someone with manners. I won't make that mistake again buster!

The Great, Next One, #98, -3 night, 6 shots on goal, 0 pts

Who's talking about it?

 

[CanadienShark]

So much insecurity in one fanbase.

That's a good self burn!

Hutsons downfall has been great
Dachs downfall has been better

Can’t wait for Demidovs downfall

Sennecke sends his regards.

What a talent! Habs fans are in for a treat watching him in the coming years. He reminds me of Quinn Hughes, my favorite player. Unlike Hughes, who developed with a stabilizing partner in Chris Tanev who covered up his defensive shortcomings, Hutson is on his own out there unfortunately. I hope it doesn't impact his development negatively. Yes he will get a lot of hate around here because he's a young small offensive defenseman playing on a Canadian team, we saw it with Hughes, it's going to happen but like Hughes Hutson will make all the critics in here look silly.

 

[Pavels Dog]

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

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Well at least we’re better than the sharks

Sennecke sends his regards.

Future rocket winner your talking about

Hutsons downfall has been great

Congrats about being openly a hater

Congrats about being openly a hater

I don't think that was ever up for debate...

 

[Voight]

Hutsons downfall has been great
Dachs downfall has been better

Can’t wait for Demidovs downfall

I'm just looking forward to the book of excuses Habs fans are going to pull out.

 

[thebestnic]

Okay c'mon, I don't care how much of a Habs fan you are. Opening this thread and seeing people calling Savard a pylon hurting Hutson and then seeing this clip is objectively hilarious.

Both can be true you know

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.

Kovacevic would have been a good partner

 

[HabzSauce]

Cool is he a HF member posting on this thread?

Patrick Roy also mentioned Hutson in same breath as Makar the other night

 

[OVO16]

"Burgeoning" is crazy

No one gives a shit. Stop with the whining.

How would getting a D that can cover for him help him develop? Hutson is already too aggressive. If anything, a D that covers for him would just enable his current playstyle because he'll get away with making bad decisions more often.

I think he just needs time to develop and learn from his mistakes as well as proper coaching.

Leafs and habs deserve it

 

[Sting]

He’s got a bad plus/minus?

Oh no.

Plus minus on its own doesn't mean a lot, especially if your team sucks. When your on-ice play starts looking worse and you're getting famous for your giveaways leading to goals, that's when the stat starts to make you think it may be related to a player's defensive deficiencies.

He’s in all the trolls heads. Hahahahhahhahaah
