It’s uncommon. But this is exactly the kind of draft it would happen in.

Kucherov in 11.
Unless you are asking when someone specifically drafted at 62, then probably never

Honestly....he is better than the average HF boarder as that is a very low bar but I certainly don't consider him to be someone that could enlighten me in any way.

I’d call it uncommon but not rare.
Seriously though, Hutson has outproduced Fox, Hughes, Makar…. He absolutely has superstar potential. Whether he realizes that potential at the NHL level is another story.
I have zero issues with anyone who says that they think his game Won’t translate over. Everyone is going to have their own opinion. But I’m not going to listen to anyone who dismisses the possibility out of hand.

If Lane Hutson is the best player to come out of this draft then this will go down as a very poor draft......He isn't even in the discussion as best player out of that draft right now and there is little reason to believe that he ever will be. Even if he is a point per game pp wizard his defensive shortcomings will almost certainly keep him out of that conversation.
Hutson reportedly has had a growth spurt and BU now reports him to be 5'10
globalnews.ca
"The latest is that Hutson is now five-foot 10-inches tall. This measurement is from his college at Boston University, and the simple truth is those numbers are not always reliable. However, it might just be the case that Hutson has grown a full two inches in a year.
There is a recent photo taken from ice level at Boston University where Hutson is standing right beside Macklin Celebrini who is the consensus pick for number one in this upcoming draft. Celebrini is listed at six-foot exactly. On the other side of the post-goal celebration is Jeremy Willmer who is listed at five-foot, eight inches
Hutson looks nearly identical in height to Celebrini, and he towers over Willmer. It might just be that Hutson is six-foot, 11 inches now(sic) (I assume he meant 5'11")

What's interesting about the club right now is they have three forwards that can drive lines effectively: Monahan, Suzuki, and Caufield.

Yeah, I don't understand why we are to automatically assume that insiders have valuable insight about the game of hockey.
They are two different things. Bieksa is insightful but not an insider. Engles is not insightful but he is somewhat of an insider (for the Habs at least). Rarely do you see someone who is both.
Point at 79th is arguably 2nd best from his draft year behind Draisatl

There are MANY cases of amazing players selected outside the first round. One of the most common dominator for them is usually size and not ideal skating (ring a bell?)
Kucherov, Fox, Gaudreau, Point, Kaprizov, Bratt, Marchand, Aho, Debrincat.
Nobody can question the offensive flair of Hutson, it is special what we don't know is if he is bound to become a reliable top 4 defenseman or simply a pure PP QB ala DeAngelo/Gostisbehere

For the love of Gawd.......please stop!
Are you saying he was the best player in the 2015 draft which I think is the general discussion, best player in a given draft ended up not coming from the first round. Kaprizov is not the best player in his draft, heck a lot of people would argue that he is not even in he top 5 of his draft year.

I would say the 2011 draft. Kucherov was selected at #58 and Gaudreau was selected at #104 (Johnny would of been selected higher, but size concerns dropped him down the board)
the valiant effort

The 2022 draft eligibles all had their 16/17/18 year-old seasons disrupted at some point, making it a far more unique and low-info draft than even the 2021 draft the year before. Remarking that a later pick in 2022 might possibly emerge as the best of his class is not nearly as far-fetched as claiming a later pick in 2010 would be the undisputed best (Mark Stone).

Pavelski from legendary 2003 draft class has to be in the conversation w Bergeron with best of that draft cuvée
Aho (2015) and Robertson (impressive 2017 class) are on the path towards being amongst best in class

Posters: crying that we don’t have elite talent, or elite type of talent.
Same posters about our prospect with elite abilities: yeah but he won’t pan out he only has offensive talent, we need to trade him because he’ll only be a PPG dman!
