These stats are no coincidence, these stats have been that way his entire career, at every level. Those are against Boston and Toronto, not Chicago and Anaheim eh.
Those of you that think he can't play defense will watch in not so many games when he is playing no.1 minutes.

When your team is in a rebuild, you need to have things to look forward to other then the wins. Hutson is delivering that for me right now. I want to see him on the ice, I get excited when he has the puck... always wondering what's he'll pull of. People keep saying that he wont be able to keep his style in the NHL and he's proving them wrong.
Play the kid, let him get comfortable in all situation. He'll make mistake... I dont care. make me dream kid!

It's a different way of looking at defensive play isn't it?

it's why I said I would have put him on PP1 from the start because he is the future, unless we get someone else that can be a #1 PP QB, as the Habs PP has been a nightmare for years and this is a league where it's very hard to be good if your PP sucks ass. If you had a Carey Price in net maybe but this organization at least for now badly needs a #1 PP QB and Hutson is the answer no question.
If people watched my Lane Hutson vids they saw what he can do, just a question of how effective can he be at such a light weight over a long season and in one day hopefully some long playoff runs. But you could always see that where ever he went he was able to put on a show. I've got almost 100 Hutson vids on my channel, if you haven't seen them by now I would suggest watching him closely.

It's only a matter of time before he's the number one guy. I don't think many people would disagree that he's probably already the best fit there.
However, the Canadiens have to be careful here. Matheson's value is pretty high due to his PP numbers and I don't see him as a long term solution here. So that means trading him sooner rather than later. And for the duration that he's here, it kinda makes sense to keep giving him those PP minutes so he doesn't lose his value.

I don't think his value is that high, but that depends on what anyone thinks high means. I have never cared for Matheson so I don't see the need to be careful here as I think GMs know what kind of player he is. I don't think he's the key to any big trade outside of a package.

It should definitley be a package. We have tons to trade with. And we need veteran help on the right side D. That makes the most sense. It lets Ghule move back to the left and takes the pressure off the younger blueliners. It's one thing to have a bunch of young forwards... a whole different thing to have young blueiners.

A bad reputation is very hard to overcome and Matheson reputation was not good he was pretty much given away for free twice. The first time he was traded for an almost retired Hornqvist who was on a bad contract. Hornqvist was almost a cap dump at this point. This trade was seen pretty much as bad contract for bad contract. Then Pens shipped Matheson to us for basically nothing. He'll have a good value at the TDL of the last year of his contract if he keeps playing well but ATM i don't think his value is as high as people think it id.

I know it’s early, but I think he sets the record for points by Habs first year dman. If he doesn’t get injured I’m saying 60-70 points.
Yeah that's why I never really got into the whole "sell high" on Matheson stuff. I think he's a pretty OK 2nd pair D who's uniquely well suited for the specific role of "#1 on a bad team to keep the puck moving so your forwards get touches" but I don't think anyone around the league would have been fooled by the 62 point season last year and I doubt his value has changed much or will be much different as a pending UFA either.
I just don't really think he ever really had or would have had that much trade value, a contender would be looking at him as a 2LD puck mover and a bad team would be trying to add him as a token vet to fill the #1/leader role and keep the game flow respectable for their forwards as a puck mover. Neither of those roles are really the kind of roster chair GMs are going to pay a ton to fill.
Muzzin returned a 1st and a couple B prospects, Ekholm returned a 1st, 4th, and a B prospect, just don't really see how Matheson's value would be in that ballpark since those guys are/were clearly better players.

Only thing is that his cap hit is pretty palatable for a contending team. That does add some value if he can have another good season here.. first two games were better on the defensive side than last year but significantly worse offensively.

He just has the puck or gets it back fast. Fun to see defense does not only mean « stand in passing lanes and finish your check »
I don't believe he is going to be close to 60-70 points. At best, I would say around 40-45 for his rookie year. Most of the rookie production goes down after December.
Remember how Logan Cooley has red hot in his first 20 games in the NHL?
His salary is barely 5m. If we retain 50% of his salary, I'm pretty sure we can get a first round pick for him.

Keeping him off the first unit is madness at this point.
He's lucky if he gets like 15 seconds per powerplay on the 2nd wave. With his skill set he's custom made to run a powerplay, not giving him that opportunity when he's clearly ready is just handicapping the team unnecessarily.

I can't see why he can't do have PPG's season in this league.
He is that good.
His vision is off the chart. He make pass like Andrei Markov. He is incredible.

The Lane Hutson show has arrived
On the box score, the Montreal Canadiens first goal on Thursday night against the Boston Bruins will show Brendan Gallagher from Joel Armia and Lane Hutson. The second goal will show Cole Caufield…

Broken record time lol:
Hutson played 17:22 at even strength, only Kaiden Guhle (18:01) played more on the Canadiens. Hutson played 22:48 total, only Mike Matheson played more for Montreal. In those minutes, per Natural Stat Trick, the Canadiens outshot the Bruins 8-3, outscored the Bruins 2-0, and high danger scoring chances were 5-1 Montreal. This on a night where the Canadiens were outshot 28-21 at even strength, outscored 5-3, and tied in high danger chances 10-10. You can do the math to see how the Canadiens fared when Hutson was not on the ice.
And it’s not like Hutson did this against bottom six forwards and bottom pair defenders. He played 7:48 against Hampus Lindholm, 6:40 against Charlie McAvoy, 5:46 against David Pastrnak, 5:00 against Elias Lindholm, and 4:25 against Brad Marchand. In fact, no Habs defender played more at even strength against Pastrnak than Hutson. Despite this, when Hutson was on the ice at even strength, the Canadiens had 81.39% of expected goals, per Natural Stat Trick. The team as a whole was at 45.38%. Hutson also started more shifts in the defensive zone than any other Canadiens player at even strength.

He will likely hit a wall at some point. The 82 game season is long and he hasn't had anything close to this grind before.

Yes, it's normal. But with his talent, I'm very sure that he will a huge point producer in this league. This guy is the real deal.
Just so thankful the Habs picked this guy... If he has gone to another team before the Habs or the Habs had picked a talentless plug before him I would have been pretty bummed given how much I loved this player in his draft year.
