[Estimated_Prophet]

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

5'9"

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

Boston University has him at 5'10, so he's anywhere between 5'9.50 to 5'10.49

 

[Frank Drebin]

Makar was 5'10 176 when drafted

 

[GHJimmy]

Putting everything aside, my full focus will be on this kid, he certainly opened my eyes after seeing some highlights!
Hopefully he'll have a good upcoming season

 

[Guess]

come onnn, why so small? apparently his brother Cole, who's 2024 draft eligible, is already 5'10" !

Folks who've been on this board for a while know that I ain't one of those dudes that freaks out about size.

The thing that concerns me with Hutson is that he seems to have a small frame for a D man and is super super light. I think forwards in today's nhl can get away with that, but that is tough for a D man.

It might be the biggest knock against him right now.

That said, Krug was able to overcome his height as a Dman and provide some solid contributions to a top team.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Just make him into a playmaking winger already. Why not? He will adapt, he's smart enough.

Then let him quarterback the PP on the blueline.

Spurgeon is the same size, isn’t as skilled and is still going strong at 33 years old. Also dude somehow looks exactly the same in every hockeydb picture dating back 10+ years. Smart players can last a long time in this league. Hutson just needs to figure the NHL out and he’s done it at every level so far so why not?

Fantastic point.

I have just about every game that Huston played this year plus I just uploaded a vid from 2 years ago when he played in the Bio Steel All American game with Middelstadt and Sam Harris.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

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.

I had him at 10, but I'm worried that might have been too low at this point

Thank you so much that makes everything so much better

Krug always comes to mind, when we talk about Hutson.
Very similar types of Dmen.....this kid would be great if he can fill out a bit, and get himself up to 170's in his weight category. Perfect world hit 180 but that remains to be seen....

5 more inches to go.

That's what she said

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hutson said and went and saw the bone doctor again and the doctor said

No more jumping..

Kidding, he said Hutson still has room to grow.

 

[badfish]

If this guy doesn't turn out to be a star I will be floored. I'd probably follow his games in whatever other professional league he ended up in (assuming it translates there) because he's so entertaining. Never saw a player quite like him before.

 

[Canadiens98]

So, is he the most exciting prospect we've had since Caufield in terms of ceiling? Difficult to not get excited with everything I read about him.

5 more inches to go.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Cool article on him in the Gazette.

Stu Cowan: Canadiens prospect Lane Hutson is a lot of fun to watch

Five-foot-nine, 158-pound defenceman shines at Habs' development camp, but the question remains: Can he play in the NHL?

Makar was 5'10 176 when drafted

That is not true, he measured 5'11.25" 187.44 lbs at the combine prior to the draft.

 

[Mrb1p]

Boston University has him at 5'10, so he's anywhere between 5'9.50 to 5'10.49

Hes anywhere between f***ing small and f***ing small

Ok I was just looking at one of his pre draft profiles

This is why he shouldn't be rushed. Let him bulk.

 

[Saku K]

If Jacob Bryson and Nick Blankenburg can somehow find spots in the NHL at similar size without dominant offensive numbers.... I am not worried.
