Lane Hutson, can have the same impact of Q.Hughes//Makar?

[KevSkillz4]

14 points in 24 games this season, he play very well in both side. He show really high offensive potential in his game. Close to score 2-3 goals this year aswell with great highlights.

Can he have the same impact of Q.Hughes or Makar?

 

[Rowlet]

I don't think he will reach top 2 D in the league level but I wouldn't be surprised if he floated around the 5-10 for the majority of his career.

His 5v5 relative possession stats leave a lot to be desired so far but I think he'll be up there with guys like Heiskanen, Bouchard, Dobson and McAvoy that are a #1D but not a generational level.

 

[Shlep]

What's the difference between Hughes and Makar here? Which is considered better?

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Only options makar and Hughes?

ah f*** man I’m understanding why everyone’s getting annoyed

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

LOL @ these poll options that all fit your narrative.

Where is the option for "His ceiling is Torey Krug and his floor is Victor Mete"?

 

[jiboy]

Legendary poll

Yeah, not having an option for "He will end up as a reliable top 4 D" is pretty wild.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

None of the above

anything’s pretty much in the realm of possibility in this stage of his career and it could actually be an interesting discussion but opening threads like this only invite bashing to balance out our hyperbolic takes. Atleast this one will be closed soon

 

[CanadienShark]

Where is Lidstrom? Coffey?

 

[dgibb10]

God this would be such a great troll post but the fact that this guy is 100% serious makes it even better

Yeah, I think Hutson has been good, he's clearly very skilled, but to compare him to the two best defensemen in the league that are basically tied for #1 with nobody being a particularly close third place at this time will just annoy people.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Soo people don't watch Lane Hutson....

 

[Dave92]

Someone scared to get their feelings hurt

 

[Rowlet]

Soo people don't watch Lane Hutson....

Dog we all watch him, it's just a bit much to say he will reach the level of undisputed tied for #1 best defenseman in the league after 20 games.

 

[Love]

Why are the only options that he’s going to be a first ballot hall of famer or be very good?

 

[Turin]

He looks like a frickin weirdo why does bro look like that

 

[NyQuil]

Yikes.

Cmon man you know you’re rage baiting here.

Hutson already has more points in these 24 games (14) than Mete’s career high in any season (13 in 71GP)

 

[FinlandPanther]

Nope. Fun to watch offensively but soft and garbage defensively.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Zellweger and Casey are better than Hutson lol

 

[Knight53]

 

[NailsHoglander]

Dan Boyle tier is probably more likely

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

No Bobby Orr option, close this

 

[EXTRAS]

He has to prove hes better than guys like brandt clarke, owen zellweger, Luke Hughes, Seamus casey, cagnoni, mateychuk, mailloux, levshunov and a whole slew of other young offensive d prospects before you start comparing him to perennial top 3 dmen in the league. Like him being fox, or heiskanen, or mcavoy impact would still be amazing. Can he top mathesons 62 point season last year?
