Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[HugeInTheShire]

Bolded.

Nope, they would definitely not sent Luke Hughes to the AHL. He was coming off a Calder nomination and has 2 superstar brothers in the league, one of which happens to be on the same team, you don't rock that boat.

 

[Coffey]

I've seen enough.
Give him the Norris.

Would be a good lesson. No nepotism @ New Jersey + he could have honed his game watching game tape of Lane Hutson in the NHL running the show.

Come to think of it, Luke Hughes' development being squandered in the big leagues. I think he needs a stint in the AHL trying to mimic his game on Lanes game style.

Some of the comments have now turned to Hutson needs a D partner to cover for his defensive deficiencies. This is highly disingenuous as he's been solid defensively and has played like a legit #1 over the last 25 games.

He doesn't need it....but a top defence first d-man would be absolutely insane to pair with Hutson. He could be even more free to create -- if you can even imagine what that would look like! Hopefully Reinbacher becomes that guy!

Have they given him the Norris yet?

Hutson is 6th in scoring and there is a gap of 15 points to the leaders. I don't think Hutson can close that gap. Had MSL used Hutson on PP1 right at the beginning of the season, the Calder would be a lock and he would have a chance with the Norris. Too bad.

Demidov will win the Hart playing in the KHL. He's that good.

 

[Boxscore]

He is starting to run away with ROTY right now, imho.

Still half a season to go but it's his to lose at this point

 

[Devonator]

Is there a game where Lane doesn't get at least one point????

He had a 4 game drought around new year, but has 10 points in 6 games since then.

Every time I check the stats for Habs games, he always seem to have at least a point....amazing.....

Is Hutson really still +700 to win the Calder on fanduel? I'm not a bettor but I honestly might have to throw down something on that if it's still true. That's gotta correct itself sooner or later right?

Cant believe he was taken in the second round. What an absolute f***ing robbery my god.

Can't believe I look silly for ranking him 10th predraft lmao

No way, no expert had him high as far as i remember. Having him 10th is great insight.

You can imagine how I was feeling watching them draft Mesar and Beck above him lmao

 

[mlse2kk]

Future PP1
Laine - Suzuki - Demigod
Caufield - Hutson

Could swap LW with Slaf, but either way that is one frightening powerplay.

I was yelling at my TV at the time. I couldn't believe he was still available at 62, I wanted him with the Mesar pick! GMs are idiots.

He looked damn good during that drought too. Could have scored a few points, but was involved every shift even if he didn't put up anything on the scoreboard.
