Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[SallyBalls]

Best defensive prospect since Makar?

Looks to be a generational talent.

 

[JustAHabFan]

One goal for Hutson tonight. He is now trailed Mitchkov by just one point.

 

[Frank Drebin]

It seems I've been banned from two threads but if I weren't, I would have given this a like/thumbs up

I got him. I may need a thumb when in need so keep me in mind

Laine played with some good ones too like Josh Morrissey and Dustin Bufyglien for example. But I agree that based on this small sample size, Hutson looks to be the most dynamic so far, he's pretty much running the whole thing, and making a lot of veterans look foolish.

He’s about as comfortable with the puck on his stick as you can get.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I'm actually surprised they're putting him with Matheson. Matheson plays like an unbridled wild horse, totally chaotic. In Pittsburgh we usually had him on the third pairing with Ruhwedel or Marino babysitting him on the second pair. I liked him though, fun to watch.

It should be illegal to put a rookie with Matheson, he makes so many stupid things, most of the time, I'm wondering who's the rookie on that pair.

Can't wait to get rid of him, because a foolish GM will give us a 1st round pick.

One goal for Hutson tonight. He is now trailed Mitchkov by just one point.

Same number of points - and one more goal - as Adam Fox.

 

[Kennedys]

Same number of points - and one more goal - as Adam Fox.

And he's 20

 

[overlords]

And he's 20

AND his growth plates still haven't fused. Sky is the limit, baby.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Does he not look a little bow legged at times? Not when he’s skating but standing around at a face off. Just looks a bit off

Absolutely love watching this kid play, the stuff he gets away with is crazy. He gets caught a lot too but I’m confident that will be reduced with experience

 

[Kegs]

He looks like Datsyuk and frankly he is as good as him.

Better than one of the greatest two way players ever?

 

[Kennedys]

Better than one of the greatest two way players ever?

No. I'm a Habs fan and i'm not sure what happened with waffledave. We'll release a patch to fix this bug soon.

 

[Stive Morgan]

And he's 20

And he's on the dog shit Habs

 

[waffledave]

Better than one of the greatest two way players ever?

Yes not even close. Datsyuk is literal shit compared to Hutson.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yes not even close. Datsyuk is literal shit compared to Hutson.

See folks,

That’s the way you do it.

 

[Kennedys]

See folks,

That’s the way you do it.

waffledave is drunk so what he said count as much as secondary assists.

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl.

Lane's world.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Elite offensive skills, not sure what their plan is for him defensively, not that his size or physical skills lend well to defending well.

 

[JustAHabFan]

And he's 20

And a rookie.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

And a rookie.

And improving significantly as the year is progressing.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Elite offensive skills, not sure what their plan is for him defensively, not that his size or physical skills lend well to defending well.

I would imagine they hope to develop him to be adequate defensively, and then pair him with an excellent defensive partner.

I think with the right partner he can be a part of an elite first pairing

His defense doesn't look better than Quinn Hughes did at some point so until that improves just gotta live with the gaffes and enjoy the upsides. Learning from mistakes.
