Woah I’ve never heard that one before. Ever thought about applying for a job with an NHL team? You’ve got the mind for it!

They should convert Savard as a goalie actually
Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Fedorov, Vyacheslav Kozlov, Konstantinov, Osgood, Knuble, Holmstrom, Fleischmann, Filpulla, Jonathan Ericsson, Kyle Quincey, Franzen.
All late round gems. The Red Wings drafting from the late ‘80s to early ‘00s was truly something else.
They got Lidstrom, Drake, Fedorov, and Konstantinov in a single draft - all 3rd round or later in ‘89.
Who the hell was their Director of Scouting? Insane.

Hutson has a real chance to end the season in 3rd place all time for assists by a rookie, he's currently tied with Lemieux and need 7 in 8 games to grab the 3rd spot.

This is how Ottawa and Vancouver fans felt defending their guy against haters for years isn't it.

Honestly, I've recently experienced some mild guilt for my treatment of Sens fans during the Karlsson days. I didn't understand how they could be so happy with a guy who was constantly turning the puck over. I think Hutson is already a better defender than Karlsson was back in those days, but still - the Sens were unquestionably better when Karlsson was on the ice, and I think I finally understand why they defended him so vociferously.
If that's the case, then give him the Hart trophy.
Oh pleeeaase! Every sports team has over the top fans. Not just the habs. Also Montreal is top 3 in amount of fans so for sure you will get more fringe comments from the habs community.
Yes, the league only acknowledged that Hughes can play defense last year. So give it another 4 years and he'll get his due.
So was Orr.
And now comparing Lane Hutson to Bobby Orr. LOL
There has no need for a risk. We are talking about late first and early second. There has no way for Kent to be 100 % sure no others NHL team has Hutson in their second round list. New jersey literally drafted a D with the same size as Hutson. We got a little bit of luck with Hutson.
If Kent truly saw in Hutson a 50+ D. He would have draft him in the first round and run away with it. No need to gable/risk losing him for average player like Mesar or Beck. Honestly, people give Kent way to much credit for Hutson draft.

A 2nd round pick will never be the biggest draft steal ever when you have guys like Robitaille, Lundqvist, Kaprizov, Datsyuk that have had great careers and were drafted much, much later.
Even in Montreal, just off the top of my head Andrei Markov is a bigger "draft steal."
I wouldn’t even call Markov a steal, rather than just an anomaly. The Habs drafted him as a center. He converted to D after being drafted.

You’re literally upset about something that didn’t happen. Clearly Kent knows more than you because he got him at 62. Whether you think it was smart or not is irrelevant. Maybe he would have dropped to 100. Who knows. But Kent got the guy he wanted in a spot that’s making every other team look stupid.

I don’t think it’s fair to generalize all Montreal fans like that. Yes, there are a significant amount of them that are more interested in proving people wrong instead of supporting their team.
But we need to remember that just because there are a lot of homers on this site does not mean that all of the Montreal fans are like that.
