He's actually an elite defender as well as an offensive genius. The eye test and especially the numbers don't lie.

And you're a clueless fan who doesn't actually watch the player. Enjoy Michkov doing Michigan at inopportune moments!
Bobby Orr 41 points as a rookie in 61 games
31 points in 46 games as a sophomore
64 in 67 in his third year!
Exploded for 33 goals and 120 points in his 4th season.
ppg went from .67 to 1.5 in 4 seasons
Using the same generational player scale for Hutson, he should be averaging 145 points a season when hes 24/25.

Looks just like Montembeault, who should lay off the junk food and lose some weight, intermittent fasting, carnivore diet or something.. he should be in better shape he's a professional athlete.

The aprils fools joke was claiming Hutson is a forward, do you think it deserved serious answers?

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me, I've never seen a player like Hutson before. But I have to admit i don't watch that much outside of Habs games. I haven't studied Makar and Hughes etc
...he reminds me more of Q. Hughes every time I watch him play...he has that "waterbug" ability and sees the ice well, like Hughes does...neither had much of a shot when they got to the NHL, so I hope Hutson works on his shot like Hughes did...
I never had a chance to watch Bobby Orr live, just the clips that everyone sees but Hutson really reminds me of Bobby Orr.
I Hate Blake Coleman
F*** the oilers
The Habs need to do everything they can to keep him.
...that was a VASTLY different Era where the play and the players were mostly MUCH slower than they are now...Orr used his great skating and incredible bursts to skate around everyone...Hutson can't do that these days...
just having fun with the orr comparisons, seems to trigger some folks

Don't be ridiculous.
Definitely wouldn't say he's been elite all year, but he has been since the 4 Nations. 2.25 ga/60 and a ~60% xgf% is elite over that sample.

Like Hughes and Makar his skating is a level above everyone else. Can't track him because he can change direction 3 times on you. Going to be a special special player.
Anyone who just watched the game could see it, well, all but the most bitter haters.
He put on a defensive clinic last night. Against the Cup champs, no less. He was legitimately just as good defensively as he was offensively, and we all know what he did on offense.
He was breaking up plays, cutting off passing lanes and intercepting passes, angling guys into the boards, hounding guys and stripping the puck off them, and getting his stick in to deflect/prevent shots. He was everywhere last night, and his stick work and positioning were superb.
His defensive play now vs earlier in the season is night and day.
The NHL wasn't ready for Lane Hutson. Sorry about that

So this is how it's done, isn't it?
You take a sample of games and measure GA/60, no context, no nothing and you anoint a player as being "elite" defensively?

That was a good one, lol.
Are you illiterate or did you just not feel like reading the first part of my post?
