Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[TBF1972]

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

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

i heard they no longer call them the habs. they call them now the juggarnauts.

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

It's arguable and Hell Yeah!

Hutson could clearly do really well dominating the AHL and getting that feel for when to be aggressive and work on defensive positioning, another -3 night, but we’re all the crazy ones. No one is denying the kids talent, people are literally just saying he needs to hone it. I truly think he could be an elite top 4 d-man that anchors an elite PP one day but is he really progressing right now the same way he would in the AHL? I don’t think so. Montreal is a mess just like my own team, but d-men develop differently

Look at how Winnipeg has developed Dylan Samberg. A few years in the AHL and then slowly give him more minutes and a bigger role. He is now a top 4 D for the Jets and playing like one. Unfortunate about his broken foot tonight though.

Did you watch the game? Probably not by claiming is +/-.

This is why stat watching is not a good way to asses a player's performance.

Try watching the games instead, might provide you the obvious answer as to why the AHL makes no sense at all for this player.

I guess the rookie of the yr last season should have stayed in the AHL last season . He was a -44 for the season.

Chiming in again, he's much better than the criticisms in this thread, but the thread kind of asked for those responses.

His pinch led to the Utah tying goal last night. No goals, 11 points in 21 games and a -13. He really should be in the AHL

he's good enough for the NHL but should realistically be in more of a sheltered role than what MSL is playing him in.

the problem is that around 50% of his teammates and 80% of the d-core can only handle sheltered minutes. sending hutson down to the ahl might be beneficial to him and his growth as a player. but montreal would just play another defenseman in his place, which is totally overmached in the nhl.

 

[Peasy]

Pacing for a -51. Big.

Fire MSL already. Montreal gunna be the next Buffalo where all their players just know how to lose.

 

[All Mod Cons]

It blows my mind that most Habs fans thought the loss of Laine would hinder than challenging for the playoffs. Like, that organization is not remotely close.
