Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch
- Thread starter Pavel Buchnevich
- Start date
You guys had Severson in your top 4 and argued for years about how great he was, one of the most dog shit defenseman I have ever seen, and I'm a Leafs fan LOL
If he was on the Devils, it's probably Luke Hughes that would be in the AHL
Again I'm a Leafs fan who despises Montreal. Only thing I hate more than rival teams are nonsense takes like this lol.

No excuses need to be made for Luke Hughes given his outstanding play. Watch the tape of his last two games played and tell when you don’t see an absolute star in the making. Clear as day.

Luke being in the AHL over Hutson? Holy shit, that's a helluva take.

No, that's the right take, the only right take

I genuinely don't understand how people can look at goal scoring at this point in the season and realize that we probably aren't going to have 14 players score 50+ goals this season, but expanding it and saying the same concept that means that sh% normalizes with time also applies to on-ice sh% is just too advanced.

Speaking of shooting percentage, I'm hoping Hutson doesn't finish with his current 0%.
He's had chances but...
Also, Hutson is awesome.

I feel like you're taking it as an insult, which it isn't. Hutson is a solid player, there's no shame in being a lesser player than him.

Which Luke isn't.

I'm a big supporter or Hutson, he's an awesome offensive weapon, but he's nowhere near Luke at the moment.
He won't stay at 0% but 14 shots through 400 minutes also isn't the kind of high volume that leads to big goal totals for dmen. Should probably be at 1 right now tho

What? Are you suggesting Lane Hutson is a better D man than Luke Hughes? Hutson will be a good player even he figures out he needs to play as an NHLer. Luke Hughes knows his game and is already a very good player. Both will continue to improve but it’s pretty clear Luke Hughes has a higher ceiling. He will be a number 1 on a very good team. Hutson is going to be good but not as a 1D.

Yes, I would also expect him to have 1 goal so far
Half the ice time to get those 14 shots would be the differentiator there

Yeah checks out.
Neither of these 2 dman are getting massive goal totals especially without PP1 time

Hutson is a dynamic jitterbug who pulls you out of your seat almost every time he has the puck. But his shot is pillow-soft and unable to beat NHL goalies at this point... unless the goalie doesn't see it at all.
Hopefully, he improves on this, or he'll be a high-end 70-point defenseman with a 4/66/70 stat line, lol.
