Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Lafleurs Guy]

Byfuglien played a bit as a forward for a couple seasons but was a defenseman the vast majority of the time. He was also moved to forward to act as a big body in front of the net, something Hutson would only be able to accomplish if he were playing Atom hockey.

He'll be a defenseman, and he won't ever be amazing defensively but we just have to live with that as he'll be the most dynamic offensive defenseman we've had in the 21st century.

If he’s Subban I’d be thrilled.

The best predictor of future success is past performance. We heard all the knocks on Caufield as he was coming up and all he did was produce. And that of course has carried over.

Obviously the NHL is a different league and there are no guarantees but the way he’s dominated is encouraging.

Honestly I don’t care that much about his D. We can always pair him with a steady Eddy to make up for it. I think he’s the most exciting prospect we have in our system right now. All he does is produce.

I think more like Marc-Andre Bergeron. Played the 4th line and the point on pp's. Except that Hutson is so vastly superior offensively (Bergeron had a huge shot, that's about it) that I can see him being a top-6 winger and with any luck, a true star in that capacity. Kinda has the same edgework and shiftiness, and ability to undress defenders that Denis Savard used to have.

Perfect example of my previous comments on using elite agility to create shooting lanes that normally wouldn't exist. 4 seconds into the clip. Most players fall down or lose control trying that move.

Anyone looking at Lane knows that his ability to skate laterally is a huge attribute that you don’t see in other prospects. I didn’t see it in Quinn Hughes.

Quinn Hughes has some of the best lateral ability on the planet and easily better than Hutson

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Well, @Skip Bayless you wanted more, goals per game or bust, we're almost there, 6 goals in 7 games!

Unbelievable, this kid.

I didn’t (didn’t) that in Quinn Hughes.

 

[Habitant#1]

I love him.

But his frame is so small I legitimately worry about his health in the NHL. If he gets boarded by Reaves like Guhle did I think Hutson might actually never get up again.

I think he's tougher than you think.

The Hutson Hawk f***in rocks

Reaves does not have the capability to catch and hit Hutson.

Also, dont worry about his size. Bet on his offensive upside instead. This kid is doing some crazy stuff.

I dont have the data...but I am confident that big strong Guys are more injured than the small ones.

Lemieux
Lindros
Dach
Etc...

Look at Naslund, St Louis, Theoren Fleury etc...never injured

Its crazy..almost every single post about Hutson is about his size..jees..

Are we in 1995 again...

Skill level is up there with Celebrini. Just a treat to watch. I haven’t enjoyed watching a prospect this much since Subban (Caufield being a close second). With that said, I could get used to Celebrini / Hutson / Caufield on the Canadiens PP

 

[Yasuo]

Remember the poster who said Hutson had a weak shot? Lol

I'm happy the pucks are finding a way in.

 

[Redux91]

Ok that's too many goals Lane
That assist column is getting lonely

SYKE

 

[Michoulicious]

That saucer pass from Celebrini on Hutson's 2nd goal.

God have mercy.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Celebration is so good

 

[Yasuo]

Celebrini is the real deal. He's even more dominant than Fantilli who destroyed the Ncaa last year

It was a thing of beauty. And so was Hutsons insane display of IQ to dissect the zone coverage with a long, diagonal back-door play. Great play by two great players.

I like Fantilli a lot, but I take Celebrini before him no doubt. He is a complete player.

He's right underneath you! You summoned @Skip Bayless
