Lane Hutson Burgeoning Star Watch

[Boyon90]

All small players are not created equal. I think Hutson's size is precisely why he's able to do what he does.

I've heard too many times that he would have gone first overall if he were 6'2". Yeah, maybe, but it's doubtful we'll ever see a bigger guy that can play like him.

true

but he's not small, he's short

thus he is the short king

Truly, other players are just fat. Hutson has the optimal hockey body.

Hutson may be small, but to quote my Italian next door neighbour, “he have a ball the size of grapefruit”.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

The first 20 games of the season of no Hutson on the powerplay probably cost the team 4 to 8 points in the standings, and cost Hutson at least the same amount of power play points.

He was on pp2, which was doing well. PP2 was scoring as many goals as pp1 at that time.
PP1 did not have Laine, and they were struggling.
If Hutson was on pp1, he would've improved it, but the difference in pp points probably wouldn't have been much.

But guys! His plus minus is terrible!!!

Right?

I am honored you took your entire morning to think about me and craft that post! Should I seek a restraining order?

Took me 15 seconds with the search function. Not even close to the time you spent hating on Hutson this season

Just a self thread ban is good

Take a look at the hockey fight between Sam Girard and Alex Debrincat, two small guys. Now we have another contestant.

Come on bro, that's not anchored in reality.

Sometimes a defencemen comes along that shows who really understands hockey and hockey iq and exposes the people who don't understand hockey at all.

The Karlsson Hughes Hutson pipeline of exposing HF.

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Signing long term for anything short of 12 million would be incredibly stupid from Hutson - that's still 16 million he'd be leaving on the table which is generational wealth that is too much to leave on the table.

9-10 million aav probably gets you a 4-5 year deal for him.

He’s an rfa, he’s not going to get a ufa salary, secondly no agent is going to recommend he signs a 5 year deal hoping to make bank during the next one, too many risks.

PP2 was doing well when Hutson was on it and then when Hutson went to PP1 it started doing well, hmm...

Im a big fan of Elite Prospects but this is dropping the ball hard.

He isnt just developing into an Elite Defenceman, hes BURGEONING!

Laine joined pp1 at the same time.

It’s sad that there are a large number of habs fans that continue to make cringe posts like this that contribute absolutely nothing to this thread

Stanley Cups = 0

All things aside, I'm a fan of teams getting players according to their style of play and strengths. Too early to tell what Hutson will be long term. But he looks to be more of an offensive defenseman and then Montreal have to play very attacking minded with that time he is on the ice, thus structure their group like that.

Idk if Montreal will put together that overall team build to win yet, they got interesting pieces, as many do.

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

Thanks, I almost forgot those players all suck. Good reminder!

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Right?

Maklin Celebrini has a whopping -31 +/-. For a guy who is toted as a Selke candidate due to his "well rounded game", that number has to be incorrect.

By comparison, Michkov, who is abysmal defensively is -15.

Happy to help! Important to keep you grounded.
