Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Habs reject Kovacevic is.

He's been great, that was a huge mistake to let him go.

IMO he could be a slower but shiftier version of Adam Fox

He's already faster than Fox. Who thinks Fox is fast? Have you never watched him?

 

[Bouboumaster]

The fact that you think Dougie Hamilton is the best defenseman on the Devils tells me all I need to know about your ability to evaluate defenseman.

Points don't lies

 

[SallyBalls]

Sheesh imagine wasting 2 top 5 picks on sub standard defensemen.....

 

[CDN24]

Love Matheson but yeah, for sure

I'm always scared when he's on the point lol

He's like that squirrel crossing the road who has to stop to remember what he is doing. With MM it happens when the puck is passed back to him at point on the PP, there is a delay before he decides what to do. If he could move it a bit faster he would be so much better. When he does try to play faster he gets ahead of himself and does not pick up the puck cleanly. Key to defending mtl PP with MM out there is to pressure MM. With Hutson it just seems instinctual offensively- puck comes to him and he reacts with it.

The last page is one singular human being making outlandish claims how are we unified

You’re just a fun group that’s all. The fact that we are 66 pages deep of arguments about a rookie D is good stuff.

Never in all my years Watching hockey have I see a player so good at making a pass, and so bad at receiving one

Reinbacher and...?

Clearly they f***ed Up with Reinbacher, but this thread ain't about him, it's about Lane "better defensemen prospect than the busts on the Devils" Hutson

Exactly that

 

[SallyBalls]

Wasnt Nemec supposed to be better than Slaf? Yikes. That call aged well.

Nemec and Hughes watching Hutson game highlights, taking notes.

Wait, I’m confused. Are you implying that Luke Hughes has been disappointing this year? Ask a Devils fan. Most are absolutely floored by his leap in defensive play. No one cares about the points, he’s been so good.

 

[WTFMAN99]

He should be developing more in the AHL

haha classic clutching at straws. The old "his defensive play" excuse....

He'd be in the AHL if he was playing for the habs.

Maybe because the Habs are ran horribly. But no, there is no team that would have him in the AHL.

Hutson is great on defense AND he's also smoking Casey, Hughes and the Great Simon "The Habs shoulda take him instead of Slafkovsky!!1" Nemec in points

In fact Hutson has more points than those three jabronis combined

Good thing that we have 2 or 3 Devils fans, of all the fanbases, explaining to us the sport of ice hockey and how we're somehow wrong

 

[Joe n]

Well he's the top d prospect, that's the first part of my claim, and I dare you to find a better one as of now

IMO he's a top 4 prospect in the league with Mitchkov, Stankoven and Wolf, in whatever order you want to rank Them

As far as being the best defenseman in the league, he might get there one Day.
Why could he not?
IMO he could be a slower but shiftier version of Adam Fox

A slower shiftier Fox would be worse than Fox.

 

[Bouboumaster]

A slower shiftier Fox would be worse than Fox.

Maybe he is

We'll have to see

What we know right now tho, is that there ain't currently a better defenseman prospect in the league

…okay. Don’t really have any clue about what you’re saying. I’ll enjoy my very good young defenseman on a very good team. I know how bitter rooting for an awful team can make you.

 

[Loner]

Is there any precedent for a rookie player with barely 20 games of experience generating so many posts on the main board?

People are literally waking up in the middle of the night to write long analyses about how he's a bad player, with projections ranging from Victor Mete to Bobby Orr.

You think Dougie Hamilton is the devils best defenseman, and wonder why people say you don't know what you're talking about.

It’s two but I feel your pain.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Not anymore. These days the players pick their own spots. He'll probably start wearing #9 next year.

probably seems that way as you are more likely to pay attention to posts pertaining to your team.

off the top of my head I think there were more posts about Laine at the start of his rookie year. In both cases you had pretty rabid fans with a lot of hyperbole that tended to draw reactions and lead to arguments. But that's probably my own bias as I was drawn to them since he and the debates were inevitably linked to Matthews

 

[dirtydanglez]

Devils aren’t good enough to win a cup with jake or jakob in goal

they are getting pretty close

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Ha! I've read your work on this board. Eeewww.

Defensive dynamo Hughes -4 on a +18 team...

Wow - thats new levels of shyte.

-/+ is now the level of idiocy we are comparing players now.

Hughes stinking it up in the back end.

[TBF1972]

Cool story Bro

The second best defenseman prospect is f***ing Jack Thompson
How many have more points than Hutson right now?

None.

Btw Hutson would be the second best defenseman on your team, behind only Hamilton, a 9M per year player. Yikes!

you guys lost the plot.

guhle is better than hutson and montreal has one of the worst defensive units in the nhl.
