Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[All Mod Cons]

He'll have to wait in line behind Suzuki, Slaf, Caufield, Laine, Newhook, Dach, Kotkaniemi, Romanov, Poehling, MaCarron and anybody they've ever drafted that hasn't made it to the NHL yet.

We're not focusing on the player. We're focusing on the fans obsessing over the player

Yep, I like what I see with Lane but Hab fans need to slow down.

Shit, he touches the puck and people start hyperventilating, lol. It’s a lot over the top.

Haven't seen him play yet, but man Habs fans sure are hyping this kid up like he's the next Bobby Orr. It'll be interesting to see just how good of a rookie season he puts together when its all said and done. Who knows maybe he really is the real deal.

Proof? Let’s see some posts.

What do fans have to cheer for? The big star they got in the off season got injured in a preseason game, Their hope for having more then one good forward line faded after that.

Let then have their hopeful cheers for Hutson.

Hutson is the later round pick that makes up for the miss with Reinbacher. Excellent job by Habs’ scouts to make up for their mistake.

Michkov was the miss, Reinbacher is still trending as a very useful player and perhaps the more important one in the playoffs.

-6 in his last 2 games. He’s been horrendous. Playing way too many minutes too.

Goodness gracious. Could you be any more obvious that you aren't watching without explicitly saying: "I have no idea what I'm spouting"?

Yup, matches the eye test. Just a ton of head fakes and dipsy doodles on the perimeter that amount to nothing.

He's made Tkachuk look silly more than once. That's not nothing.

I think a lot of people are getting ahead of themselves with Hutson. He's got plenty of potential for sure, but projecting him to have a similar development path as Hughes at this level is a bit far.

Just because Hughes figured out how to defend doesn't mean every other prospect on the earth can figure out how to defend. The deck was stacked up against Hughes as well on learning to defend well. That's why defenders like that are so rare and the best in the league.

For Hutson to get in the same category he needs to figure out how to defend.

Hughes' rookie year he was 29th in xGF% amongst defenders played more than 1000 ES minutes
Hutson's first few games this year he is 128th out of 149th in xGF% amongst defenders with 50 ES minutes. Let's see those numbers turn around before we compare him to Hughes. He's got plenty of more games to play.
