Take the time and check some of the contract to depth dmen at the NHL level. Lot of them are paid 3 millions and some of them not really better than Harris. If he can keep being vanilla steady he'll get there eventually.

Harris at 22 and 23 years old has been putting up a .26 ppg that over 82 games would be 21 pts, he looked like he regressed to me but that doesn't he won't bounce back as for whatever reason from time to time we see players struggle in their 2nd full season after a pretty solid rookie year from him.
I don't know if his frame could handle it but if he can get closer to 200 lbs that might help him a lot, plus improved strength as he looks easy to push around out there.

Hockey Junkie put out a video that showed a pic of Lane's legs...he is built like a tank!

If I'm HuGo I'm writing Barb a blank cheque to get Hutson's skating technique as efficient as possible, because he could very well be a 1st pairing guy

Most players don't play 82 games, but hopefully hutson can remain relatively healthy wherever he ends up playing.
It's a movie we have seen so many times over the past few years, that you get jaded into thinking that key guys are going to miss tons of time.
The 2 games I saw last season against a team fighting for their playoff lives I didn't see weak skating whatsoever and it will improve
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.
Him being signed for 3 million a year literally was and is, by definition, a hypothetical scenario. There is no other way to put it. I can think of several reasons why he won’t be paid that much.
Again, all you have to do is shut up, and wait and see. If he ends up getting paid 3 million by us or another team, I’ll eat crow.

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?
