Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Belial]

You mean the one where I say that he is a great prospect and I was cheering for us to draft him.....?

Of course!

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Lol, not sure of what you think you're talking. Not trying to be a dick.

Luke Tuch is 6'2".......Quinn clearly is not 6'1" despite listing himself as such and Bonino is leaning/slouching as his shoulder angle clearly demonstrates and he clearly has rounded up his height to 6'1". Players have pumped up their measurements forever, and there is no clearer example than this. Tuch is the only one without motive to jack his stats up and if he is 6'2" then we have a whole bunch of story tellers to his left, even if he was 6'3" they would all clearly still be fos.

Look at Tuch and look at Hutson lol.

Come on guys, why do we insist on doing this? Lane is going to be an undersized defenceman with ridiculous skills. Let's just enjoy it instead of playing these silly games.

I'm taking dibs on a Lane knickname

Hawk maybe? Hutson Hawk?

Eagle? For life in the fast Lane?

Not to be a dick about it, but I can't take any of these conversations speculating about Hutson's height seriously, lol. When he comes to Montreal we'll see how tall he is and how much he's filled out. Patience, lol.

Agreed, although we may never know his true height as it will always be up to him to release it. It doesn't matter anyways as his size will never be a strength or a reason for his success.

Hyperbole in the linking tweet, but it's a good article.

I was thinking you could pair Lane with Xhekaj and they could be LAN and WiFi. The only problem is it’s terrible and I’m ashamed I thought of it.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I can't see Hutson busting.
He has elite talent with an elite brain, and will play under a coach that lets him play his game

[badfish]

164 lbs is so light for a defenseman... Probably where the focus has to be now rather than his height. Still one of my favourite prospects.

 

[Frank Drebin]

His bro is a top ten prospect for next year yeah? I think one small Hutson is enough though for one team

 

[NotProkofievian]

Hutson size is the main reason why he dropped, Playing on a stacked team probably didnt help his draft stock either. I think he goes top 20 easily after the year he had at BU. I would pick him over Korchinski or Mateychuk quite easily. His IQ and puck skills are high end.

His size was dropping him in my model during his draft year, so at some point I said ''f*** it'' and put him at 32. No way I was not having him as a first rounder. And then he goes ahead and makes that intervention look embarrassingly mild.

 

[BenchBrawl]

People are WAY too optimistic about Hutson.

Yeah, maybe he does become that star.

But people right now are already penciling him on that 1st pairing left of Reinbacher.

Long road ahead full of obstacles for him. Hopefully he pans out.

I'm more confident in Hutson panning out than DR for the same reasons I'm more confident in Michkov panning out.

That kinda play reading ability will get you places.

Huge difference between defense role vs. forward. Size will be a real concern.

Won't get optimistic until I see him handling NHL powerforwards forechecking on his side. Until then, I keep my expectations low.

Hughes and Karlsson are absolute garbage defensively and physically. You can afford to have one of these types per defensive core.

We'll see. Hope you're right.

I disagree. In today's NHL you can have some of these bad D/high O defense for entertainment value, but if you want to win something significant, you don't.

Look at Edmontpn. Their glaring issues on D are exposed every year in the POs

 

[Runner77]

So Hutson did grow two inches.

 

[SlafySZN]

So Hutson did grow two inches.

Lane was 5’8.2 at the combine last year.

Just like some were embarrassingly putting Dubois on the Habs' Trios.

Hughes and Karlsson are absolute garbage defensively and physically.

I'll always remember that hit by Karlsson on Beaulieu during the playoffs, OTT v. MTL, he cracked Nate the Great's sternum.

 

[Bouboumaster]

This thread is f***ing embarassing

 

[ottawa]

So what's his height now, it's all over the place
