Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[ole ole]

Yeah I really don't think there's any shame in saying Hughes was better at the same age and will likely continue to be better considering he's arguably the best defenseman in the league lol. Hutson will be Hutson, and it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch his career. Wouldn't be shocked to see him sniff PPG some seasons once Montreal's offense rounds out.

No shame from me,[ Hard to be as good as Hughs] but I still think Hutson is gonna be something special if injuries are avoided.

Kind of reminds you of the response Karlsson got on here. Didn't matter how dominant he was, how many points he put up, he'd still get slammed on here from the usual cast of characters, one of them being yourself. You should be well prepared. The difference I guess was that at least pre=Cooke slice, EK could bail himself out of pretty much every defensive zone encounter. Hutson will need to improve that aspect a lot or you're going to see even more highlight reel plays against him.

Hutson will not be as good as Karlsson Period.

Mich or Celebrini will win it.

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.

Possibly the first time we've ever agreed here. Hutson absolutely has that kind of upside. Celebrini is probably more likely to reach his upside and his floor is higher. Hutson's talent level is on the same level.
