It's not hypothetical. There are lots of worse defensemen being paid upwards of 3 million. No reason he won't eventually make that much whether he is worth it or not.

It's definitely not weak, don't get me wrong - but with elite skating, he would reach a new level.
Totally agree.

There was a clip showing Hutson and Raymond racing down ice, Lane has an odd straight speed stride, it looked awkward.

If you watch clips from Brayden Point's draft year, his skating was virtually identical. Back up and down, incomplete strides, a lot of inefficient movement. Look what Barb did for him.

If he stays relatively healthy you will very likely lose this bet. Acting like a dman who is entering his 3rd full season of professional hockey who just turned 24 and is an outstanding skater with a high IQ is a finished product is absolutely ludicrous. When he is in his 27-32 year old seasons he could very well be a far better player than he is now and he is currently a legitimate NHL defender.

That has long been an issue with him, he is quite easily our slowest dman after Savard. His other assets should be enough to compensate although he will always be a risky player to have on the ice against the opponents top lines.
He has improved his skating over the last two seasons as he was flat out slow when we drafted him. His technique is still very flawed but the kid has hustle for days and he wills himself into the race at times.
He is just too unique in too many ways to try and pin him down with a comparable as evidence to support the development that is yet to come but it is going to be a wild ride either way and I am here for it.
Not sure if this was posted or even if it's real popped up on my Facebook feed if true wow Marty Jr

It is my memory of him as well, is it possible he beefed up that much? It probably is photoshopped...
Would be great if it wasn't.

If it is photoshopped, we should be able to easily find the original?
I think it may be possible. Isn't one of the benefit of the NCAA is the lower schedule and better off-ice trainings?

no it's not - who the hell is photoshopping lane hutson's quads? it's good lighting coupled with fact that he's sitting down so his legs naturally look bigger. he's an athlete, is it surprising that he's toned?

We have seen other photos of him as well as comments from people who have met him that he has tiny legs.....hell, you can tell when he is in his equipment. This photo even looks like it has obviously been tampered with.
That would be an enormous difference from one year ago and naturally twiggy builds like his simply do not build their legs up like that in such a short period of time.

Not that I'm doubting your observations, I'm just curious as to why anyone would do this. Why does someone photoshop enhanced legs on Hutson, what's the payoff?

No it does not.
It does look like he’s getting some benefit from the lighting though.

People need to get some fresh air and touch grass methinks.
Besides there's still plenty of meat left on the Laine bone.

It's an old meme... I actually have no idea if it's shopped or not and don't really care either way

That's an older meme, but it checks out.
the Bauer hockey instagram account is working overtime to visually alter Lane Hutson's quads so HFBoards user Estimated Prophet can play Photoshop detective and it definitely isn't just good lighting coupled with the fact that he's sitting down
anyway check out the second pic in the post above

It’s a very dark question you don’t want to know the answer to.
