Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Rapala]

Same here.

That just died an early death.

 

[Maitz]

I think he will sign this saturday and play the last game of the season vs DET

 

[Gustave]

Remote work

We must have the most studies concentrated fan base ever. Reinbacher first, and now this for LH. These guys are making millions upon millions and we get questions about exams and internships

 

[1909]

Should get signed before monday

I see him playing the two games vs Detroit.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I expect he only plays the last home game vs Detroit

 

[Skip Bayless]

One more year.

 

[The Great Weal]

Lane likely thinks otherwise. The top NCAA prospects always get a year off their ELC. And I'm sure management will oblige if that's what he wants.

He wants to use the money he makes to buy shoes with higher soles to look taller

 

[HuGort]

I see him playing the two games vs Detroit.

Same here. Saturday is too quick. But hoping you see him play in Detroit games.

Quite sure he will sign as these 2 games wipes off year of his ELC

Exactly.

If he wants to sign now, you sign him.

No f***ing around.

let’s just hope that they will try him on the PP even if “he has to earn it”

wont be PP1 but im sure he will start in PP2 more curious about a OT 3v3 situation i feel like he could shine in it but would St-Louis risk it since he wants to win

I'm so geeked about Hutson signing. I'd be thrilled just to see him in the pressbox lol

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

32 thoughts Friedman seems to think Hutson will sign but won't give it a percentage.

 

[habsfan891]

It's already lunchtime and he hasn't signed yet he's going to play his 4 years and go to the Rangers

 

[26Mats]

One more year.

That's my preference. So he can bulk up. But we know HuGo think it's best for him to sign right now. And they know more than me.

 

[Essenege]

Seriously NHL needs to close this stupid loophole. You start your career with the team that drafted you, period.

 

[Tyson]

Why am I not concerned if he signs or not? Maybe I don't see the hype.

This I agree with

That's my preference. So he can bulk up. But we know HuGo think it's best for him to sign right now. And they know more than me.

If he plays one more year he could pull a Fox by saying trade me to the team of my preference or I will play my senior year and lose me for nothing.

 

[Sorinth]

People forget that CHL players have the same "loophole" and become UFAs just like NCAA players. The only difference is that players age out of CHL and so need to find a place to play while waiting to be UFA which is a bit of a roadblock whereas NCAA can just continue playing with the team they've always played for.

 

[le_sean]

One more year.

If he goes back, I’d trade him. It would be a clear sign that the Habs don’t interest him. He has nothing else to prove at that level.

 

[The Last Red]

Exactly.

If he wants to sign now, you sign him.

No f***ing around.

Last thing we need is a Cutter Gauthier situation. The NCAA player holds the leverage here. It is what it is.

Yes this is sometimes a risk. I just don't see it as a risk in this case.

But yes, I can see the perspective of those that don't want to deal with even the possibility of that risk.
