Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[rve24]

You're arguing with what I would consider to be the first truly carbon neutral human I've encountered. A man who can completely subsist off of consuming his own farts.

I'm not picking sides but this was funny!!!!!! TY

Who really cares how big his legs are one way or the other? I'm more interested in how he plays on the ice and contributes to Habs success.

Doesn't matter, just make plays and don't cost the team.
Edit sorry didn't post pics properly I guess

Hutson is very much going to be an "X factor" for us this season.

The other candidate would be Dach, but otherwise I agree.

Bringing a true elite offensive option from the blueline has the potential of radically changing our overall offense to a point people underestimate. And this team has been lacking of an offensive defenseman of such talent since Markov (not that they play anything alike).

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Does he have a bigger offensive upside than PK Subban?

Definitely dach is the huge x factor. He was brought in to be the number 2 center. Played really well in his 26 minutes. But looking forward to a full season. Good problem to have regarding the defense though. Can use some of the prospects for offensive upgrades in the coming seasons

Yes

 

[Habs10Habs]

All kidding aside,

As someone who’s working to get back in shape, you can look fantastic under the right lighting and angle.

Regular lighting? Not so much.

That's why I sit in the dark most days. I look freaking hot that way.

 

[KevSkillz4]

He have Quinn Hughes offensive upside!

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Yes

The question is whether Hutson’s defensive limitations will offset his obvious offensive potential.

Considering Subban was never good defensively I still think Hutson will have a better career.

 

[Tyson]

Just watched some Hutson highlights! I am now officially fired up!

The Norris “Plus” platinum pro

 

[Goldthorpe]

The question is whether Hutson’s defensive limitations will offset his obvious offensive potential.

He looked good enough defensively for two games he played a few months ago, but then there's a wide gap between that and being reliable enough games-in games-out and not become a weakness to exploit by the opposition.

I have high hopes but we'll see.

 

[Shred]

I actually think this is a first. Usually we only have lots of posts about X or Y busting.

We did have a lot of posts about X or Y chromosomes though.

 

[JianYang]

God I hate the off season

This reminds me of talking about Alexei emelin's abdomen and debating whether he was ripped or fat during camp.

There's always something like this every off season and I just sit back and laugh about it now.

 

[JianYang]

Subban had tremendous edgework and was fine defensively for a while.

If hutson ends up having a subban level of impact, we should be delighted.

I'm not quite clear on why anyone cares wether it's been altered or not... The cup isn't awarded for a body building contest last I checked.

This is why Brett Hull claims he didn't make it in Calgary. They got all caught up in fitness and being cutting edge in conditioning that they were overlooking the hockey part.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Demidov reminds me a bit of Hutson, but as a forward and bigger size.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Considering Subban was never good defensively I still think Hutson will have a better career.

Considering Subban was undeniably a top 5-8 defenseman in his prime years, I would say that hopin Hutson hits those levels is wishful, but I like the optimism.

 

[HuGort]

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

I never seen it. But his skill is off the chart

 

[crosbyshow]

Honestly I would not be surprise that down the road, Hutson will be better DEFENSIVELY than.......Mallloux


Mailloux's coverage is awful. He has his head in the clouds often.

Also when there is a turnover in the neutral zone....he is flat foot on the blue line.

He has way more strength than Hutson obviously but it is the only thing that he is better than Hutson defensively

I will agree that Mailloux's defensive game looked pretty brutal at times during his AHL rookie season. What I will also say is that his defensive game vastly improved from game 1 to game 72. He is a work in progress.

I agree ahl did him well that's why I hope Mailloux, Hutson and reinbacher all start in laval they could all use time or more time to work on their game and if they dominate you can always call them up

Considering how little hockey Logan Mailloux has played over the past 3-4 years I think another full season in Laval would be a good thing.

 

[Paddy17]

Or… it’s just the lighting and the angle.

I don’t know why people would jump to “shopped!” You can’t tell much about the size of his legs from that photo.

This. It's just because he's sitting that way. I suggest people just sit in front of a mirror and look at their legs. You'll suddenly think to yourself: "Hey, I've got bigger legs than I thought!"

Btw, you can do the same trick with your triceps (obviously not by sitting down).

 

[LaP]

Ideally we do not want them all in laval this year and then graduate all at the same time in the NHL the following year and have 3 rookie in the lineup at the same time. Also if you have both Mailloux and Reinbacher in the AHL one of them will play less. Ideally we want one of Mailoux or Reinbacher in the NHL this year. If both are clearly not ready fine it is what it is but ideally in a perfect world we would have one of them in the NHL this year.
