Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I'm a habs fan BTW, I just don't see Hutson as a future Norris Trophy D-man. Some people are OVERHYPING him big time. He's a good player but never will be a real #1 D on a good team. 40 pts and 3rd D (second pair) on a cup team is really good.

keep it up, bro. You'll have a stack of these in no time:

He'll probably eclipse 40 points in his rookie season.....

Because he plays a lot. That's easy maths. I like him but we will never win a cup with him as your 1st d-man.

I just don't see the point of your post.

That's a lot of certainty for a purely speculative statement.

That's my opinion, let's see what will happen in the next years.

Somebody else gets it, though

My god. 89 pages on Lane Hutson. -14 on the worst defensive team in hockey.

Can we hold off until he's done something

More than half of that comes from empty net situations:

He's -6 in non-empty net ES, which isn't all that bad considering his age, being pushed into tough situations and often having lousy partners like Matheson and Savard.

He's also pacing to pass Quinn Hughes in the top 15 best rookie dmen in points and top 5 all-time in assists. As he gains experience, he might pace higher in the second half.
