Kid's a stud and should be on PP1 but unfortunately Marty will stick with his garbage low IQ vet for a while longer.

He's 4 games in his pro career. Breathe.

Hutson-Guhle is the best pairing I've seen since Marky left.

Lets give it a few more months. He also hasn't walked the line and shook many guys out so far these past 2 games. He's clearly targeted by the other teams. His size does get me nervous. It takes one idiot to take a stupid run at him.

 

[themilosh]

will Lane ever be good enough for first pairing? idk.

but oh man he is magic when defense doesn't matter.

He's a 4th frwd when playing, which is why it feels like a pp..

And when he gets targeted walking the line, he flips a perfect little sauce into the slot on his backhand and Gallagher almost scores

Just enjoy the Lane Hutson show and stop worrying about his size.

Same for Guhle, people were worried about him but he was a beast against the Bruins tonight.

I'm gonna save your comment and hopefully eat crow in 5 months

 

[SlafySZN]

The main board really doesn’t want people saying he’s good.

Nobody has ever mentioned Guhle's size as a potential problem though. He's 7 inches taller and 50lbs more. I don't wannt come off as a Hutson hater, I believe in this kid and think he's a huge upgrade and benefit to this team. Size and strength does matter in this game though. As good as he is, his size is not common in the league, and there's a reason why that is

Chara's size also wasn't common. Made him slow af. Made it work.

Everyone's different. If Hutson has what it takes, he'll make it work.

 

[Trembz]

Im talking strictly size related to injury. Nothing to do with skill, cause as I've mentioned, I believe in him and think his skill is tremendous. With that being said,
A giant can eventually catch up to a smaller/quicker guy and crush him and hurt him ( Your Chara comparison). My concern is his size and durability, not his skill.

I'm also nervous about his size - but reality is, he's been ducking and deeking (avoiding) and protecting against it his entire life.. i'm less concerned about his Defensive play, as he'll never be a shutdown guy (like Savard will never be a pmd).. when he's on the ice, the Habs will press...
If he was 6'0+ he'd be the next Bobby Orr and would have been drafted 1oa.

We are on the same page, but he's never had to duck and dodge a Reaves or a Domi and company half way through the season.

As much as I agree with your overall sentiment.....your math is really lacking here lol, as Guhle is not 6'5" 212 lbs.

Hutson has shown the extremes that I expected with incredible skill and intelligence offset by serious defensive deficiencies. I expect the latter to improve but the question is by how much? Ultimately, if his contributions are an overall positive he will be a great asset and we will have one of the most offensively exciting dmen in the league.

 

[HuGort]

Hutson has 4 points in 4 NHL games. Also +4 in those games. Played second half of game with Guhle against Boston top line.

 

[tnq]

Still think he’ll end up being the best player of his draft year tbh

And we got 2 best players of this draft

 

[Bombshell11]

And we got 2 best players of this draft

[Shutdown]

Lol can't believe there's now a player with a Chuck Palahniuk character name. Sam Rockwell's name in Choke: Victor Mancini.

When the hell did Hutson hit 6 feet?
A quick hockeydb search lists:

Guhle - 6"3, 202 lbs
Hutson - 5"9 162 lbs

That's a difference of 6 inches and 40 lbs.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Guys gonna put a casual 50+ points up like its absolutely nothing.....

I didn't realize he was a +4. That's impressive thus far.

 

[26Mats]

Hutson is 10X distributing the puck better than Matheson.

Matheson would be a hell of a winger imo.

Just for clarification: do you think Matheson would be a good winger and why?

 

[morhilane]

Habs point record for a rookie D is 64, it belong to Chelios. At 50 pts, Hutson would be #2.
