Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[spintheblackcircle]

This kid would be glazed endlessly if he didn't play for Montreal.

This wouldn't be an 87 page thread if Habs fans (and fans of teams in Canada in general)didn't overreact to EVERY rookie they've ever had.

Celebrini is far more talented and impactful and not even a 1 page thread about him. If he was on a team in Canada, he would have a pt2 thread already and be in the Hall of Fame.

More impactful as a rookie now not more talented, higher floor, but I think Hutson's ceiling could be higher. Hutson has the same amount of points as Celebrini and he's a defensemen, and Celebrini has already missed how many games due to injury and he's only 18, but Hutson is just as talented. Availability is an ability.

Celebrini is 20 games into his NHL career, not sure I buy the argument that his missed games are indicative of a problem staying healthy.

Hutson has tons of talent but he's quite clearly not on Celebrini's level.

We shall see.

We shall see.

You think celebrini is gonna miss 30% of his games going forward? Because that's the only way Hutson is gonna match his scoring.

I don't know what's going to happen, I'm just stating the facts we have now. Hutson scored his first goal, almost scored again, you'd think this is a boost for a guy like him, we'll see. If Celebrini were to get hurt again, would you then consider him injury prone or "freak accident", lot of moving parts happening.

I wouldn't consider a rookie with no significant injury history to be injury prone, no.

Interesting, okay then, well lets see how it plays out.

Lot of sour in here. We wouldn't have as many post if all the haters and[ fans of American teams] didn't shit on every thread not about them.
There's a reason why there are so many post in this thread
One guy was picked 1st OA while the other player was picked 62nd OA.
One guy was rated to become a superstar while the other was considered a long shot to even play in the league.
Both are sitting with the same amount of points even though one is a forward while the other is a d-man.
One guy is turning heads in the hockey world. That same guy is now being mentioned as the biggest steal of the draft. Stop whining and get back to what is relevant.

Great talent but imo it would be even more impressive on a good team. Eating big minutes and producing well while the team is good defensively and successful overall is a tougher ask than to produce well on a bad team.

Is it? Such bullshit.
