Not if you trade trade him, his value will
never be higher
Remember people saying to trade him before he played a NHL game because his value will never be higher?

He's got to be the highest IQ player I've seen on this team in my 20 years pf watching.
Absolutely incredible, only 40 games in, he's our best defenseman and he just keeps getting better every game.

Remember the last 2 years.....on this forum...80% of all the f..posts were about his size.......
Because of this mentality from fans , Gm etc.... that teams missed the chance to draft special talents like Hutson, Quinn Hughes, Cole Caufield etc etc..
Great news then!Holy smokes this kid is gonna cost a LOT of money to keep.
Again…not bad for a gadget player
Yeah but he is 5.10 160 pounds.........
You dontl't know yet that for the fans and Gm size is more important than IQ.....

We should definitely promote the scout that vouched hard for him in the BTS Habs video! Get this man a raise!
We’re doing it again next draft. Gonna draft Cameron Schmidt after he falls the way to late 2nd round this time.

No, we were never gonna draft Cole. Him and Lane play the exact same role. Their father said he wanted Cole to get drafted by a team where he’d get the reins for the Power Play or some like that. I also think remembering, and don’t quote me, that he wouldn’t have wanted Cole here with Lane already a Habs.

Watching this guy adapt his game to the pros at the speed he has is special to watch. I don't think I have ever watched a hockey player change their game so effectively and so quickly, it's absurd how this is happening.
The only other case I can think of in all other sports is when Mike Trout came up from the minors and ended up becoming the best baseball player alive through his ability to change his approach during each at bat. This kid is absolutely special, just like that was, when you see it you just know.
On the Basu and Godin notebook last week they were saying how Lane is absolutely obsessed with hockey and is a total nerd about it. It shows. What a player, I just can't believe it.

Just went head to head with Makar and Hughes back to back and walked out with his hand raised twice.

It looks like this guy has no bones when he gets hit. He just absorbs whatever comes at him like a gelatinous mass of goo.

Darwins theory - he’s been the smallest player on the ice his entire hockey life

I’m wondering the same thing, but have watched this team for 50 years.
His hockey IQ is off the charts.

Sure, but when Caufield gets hit, he doesn't come out of it with a goofy smile as if nothing happened like Hutson lol.

Caufield rarely drives the play, he finds open spots to finish the play - Hutson always drives the play and because of that style has had to learn adaptation techniques CC hasn’t needed to
I’m curious what stats show re: top individual puck possession TOI, wouldn’t shock me if Hutson is McDavid territory as crazy as that sounds

He also drew the penalty that led to the game winning goal. He just tilts the ice.

I think earlier in the year he was higher than Mc or like 2nd to ONLY Mc. It was early on but it was crazy

How good's the kid? I fully believe his "bounce the puck off Hughes' skate" goal was on purpose.
