No he won’t - how much harm did Torts do to MSL? Brad Richards? Sedins? Etc

The first person MSL called to get advices when he accepted the Habs HC job was Tortella, they are friends since MSL had him as coach, despite MSL and him not agreeing on a bunch of stuff.

I don't like Hutson's chance for the Calder. I don't see him getting the same opportunity as some of the others. Those F's get 1st line TOI and PP1 usage. Now if Hutson earns PP1 then that could change.

Plus, this could happen:

Matheson - Savard
Guhle - Mailloux
Xhekaj - Barron

Laval 1st pairing:
Hutson - Reinbacher

Until TDL. He could join after Savard is dealt, making him a candidate the following season.

You do realize the only season Tortorella coached the Sedin's was the season the Sedin's had their career worst during-prime-age season right? lol

That could very well happen.

I think Hutson’s in the starting lineup though. He was terrific in those first two games and I suspect he’ll be too good in camp to ignore.

Terrific offensively, yes. It was more of a mixed bag in the defensive zone.

Their hybrid defensive zone scheme can be a bit of a challenge at times, especially for younger players. (which player to pick up in man-to-man, when to switch to high pressure zone, and back again, etc …. and it’s not black and white.)

P Vincent and the Jackets D were aggressive in the attacking zone last season. That will be good for him to learn offensively but also defensively (practicing against teammates) because it gave the Habs, and their hybrid D, trouble. Win-win.

Could go either way. Maybe they want him to learn on the fly and don’t mind Barron as the 7th D.

He’s never going to be Shea Weber in the crease. If we wait for that we’ll be waiting forever. He wasn’t bad defensively and made some good plays.

I think Barron’s in the lineup regardless. He’s in the right side and they’re going to want to see what he can do.

I am convinced that Hutson makes the top 6 this season. He is simply too good for the AHL.
I know he is slightly small but so are Parekh and Buium....Lane and Cole Hutson both weren't shown the respect they deserved at the draft.

I mean we don't know if he's too good for the AHL, but he probably starts the season on the team because of the Harris trade.

The way he played against a desperate Detroit team showed me that he is NHL ready. It may become a numbers game but he is good enough imo to play in the NHL right away. I may be way off base...it will be revealed very soon one way or another

I think Torterella will have a hard time dealing with Michkov and Torts won't survive it.
I like Torterella, I just think his old school ways won't work with Michkov.

His old school ways would not work with half the players under 23. He's slowly getting closer to 70.

Taking a flamethrower to that straw man. :laugh:

I don’t meant to suggest you were saying he’d be Shea Weber. Im simply saying that no matter how much seasoning he gets in the minors, he will always have limitations due to his size. It’s just a fact that we’re going to have to deal with and no amount of AHL hockey will change it.

He’ll be brilliant offensively and strong on transition. I’m okay with that trade off.

Okay, but I didn’t mention any physical limitations.

Poehling looked too good for the AHL in his debut game too but that didn’t last. It’s a very small sample size. Not to mention that Hutson lost his man multiple times against the Wings. Either way, he will definitely get his chance in the NHL.

This is absolutely true. But Poehling did not have the resume that Hutson did.

I think it’s too much to expect Hutson to look like that every game but I also don’t think that it was a fluke either. I think he’ll make the team out of camp but he’s not a lock.

This photo shop claim is so dumb. His legs don't look any different than any other hockey player who's sitting the same way. If anything, it's just slightly more accentuated by the lighting in the dressing room.

Oh ffs can we just stop this shit?
