Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[waffledave]

headfaked his way to the top of the rookie leaderboard eh

The funny thing is people clown on the headfakes but everyone always f***ing bites. He lures in all 5 players at the same time and dishes out to a crazy open player like 2-3 times per game.

Dad?

Let's not go that far.

But he's projecting that way.

What a great game it was to watch those two in the back end, they are something else, Hugues is such a great player and if you watched tonight's game you know Hutson is not far behind him.

 

[Licou]

Let's not go that far. He's not even close to Hughes in his own end.

But he's definitely projecting that way.

He's at least pretty decent in his own end. Much better than the trainwreck I was expecting. He's positionally sound and pretty tenacious for his size.

 

[TheYardMachine]

He is so good! Transforming the team to a playoff spot this season

He's not dissimilar to Michael Peca in how he backchecks.

great night but Dan Boyle would’ve had 4 pts

 

[Kennedys]

Hutson has looked great overall, but the goal was a total fluke.

We'll have to review all goals scored by every players to make sure it's legit

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Sorry haters and losers, Hutson is already very much elite

If you remove 5-3 points and fluke goals he would be behind golden boy Michkov and Emil Heineman in points

 

[MXD]

Golden Boy Michov. That has a nice ring to it.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Along with his points, that pass he made to Gallagher in the third was awesome. Threaded the needle, just too bad Gallagher missed the easy shot. He took over that period. Rookie d-men shouldn't be this good.

If they played Heineman on the PP with Hutson he would outscoring Michkov.

Well done !

 

[holy]

His goal going off Hughes was pure poetry. The look of sadness Hughes has on his face, he lifted his stick in sadness at the same time Hutson lifted his stick to celebrate.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Mich-who?

 

[Rafafouille]

Boyle averaged over 12 goals a season and an even plus/minus.

Hutson is on pace for 4 goals and a -20

Hutson is likely going to be a star, he's fantastic. But he has a way to go to get there.

Love how you can make stats say what you want when you don't take 5 seconds to dig a little. Before tonight's game he was -8.


He's 0GF, 8GA on empty nets. By your flawless logic he struggles defensively because he can't play goalie. That's how stupid your argument is if you're going to use his +/-

 

[Quinning]

Avs fans are confused at who they are more annoyed by now.

 

[Michoulicious]

1 G, 2 A, 25+ mins.

Dominant performance tonight.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Might be the best player from the 22 draft

No doubt about it. We get a 1st overall in the second round. Just imagine how lucky we are. Habs fans had been screaming to draft Hutson in early second round and they are lucky they still be able to get him at the end if the second round. Thanks Kulak a thousand time.

The worst thing is : That arguably wasn't even the easiest tap-in missed by a Hab forward on a Hutson pass tonight!

It's karma for getting Kotkaniemi instead of Hughes.

[FerrisRox]

Boyle had a nice career, but he never scored more than 22 pts until he was 26 years old. His first five seasons were all minus.

if we're comparing numbers, Hutson is way ahead.

Not to mention he just pulled that -20 number out of his ass.

Huston is a -7 and he's been on the ice for 8 empty net goals. Where he got the idea he's pacing for a -20 is beyond me, but it certainly wasn't from looking at the stats.

Yeah he could have had a couple more assists. His passing when he goes down in the lower half of the ozone reminds me of a really good passing forward such as Krejci. Somehow slows things down then makes an elite pass.
