I was worried about his size given his flamboyant style of play, dancing around guys and thought he would get lit up when he hit the NHL - but so far that hasn't been the case at all. The way he made Tavares look like a pylon was gorgeous. Took a big (and late) hit from Bwaady Tkschmuck and was fine. So far, Hutson has been pure dynamite.
Someone is going to break their ankles trying to keep up with him.

Suzuki was right when he said he looks like Quinn Hughes. I thought he was exaggerating at first but he's clearly a unique talent. Something happens every time he touches the puck and he's very good at dodging hits. Wouldn't be surprised if he has the most points on the team by the end of the season.

Jury is still out for Mesar and Beck too. I feel like people bust Mesar way too soon.

I admit I'm one of those, for Mesar
I hope I'm dead wrong

As for Beck, I'm hopeful he'll be part of the team at some point
But right now, I don't even know where I'd fit him lol
I don't think he's better than Evans or Newhook (as of now)

As of now no but Evans will be 29 next season and will likely cost close to 3 millions for about 4 years. Not sure i'd sign that contract personally.

2022 is to Bobrov what 2007 was to Timmins
What is nice when Gorton decide to hire Brobov from NY. Gorton took the best scout from his entire group of scout in New York. I mean, I know scouting isnt a perfect science, but certainly there is scout with better flair than other.. brobov seem to be that one.

We all like Ev ans. He is a hard working bottom-six center. But at some point, Habs have to make space for Kapanen, Beck… and Hage in a not too far future.

The hockey world is not prepared for Lane Hutson.
He is indeed a very different type of player - forward or D-man.

It's starting as of this year. Maybe I'm overly excited but I'm thinking rationally how does he not get a point every single game? With what he's capable of doing and the state of our defense he's on an island. Maybe a few games he won't get points because 82 games is a marathon and tough grind, but in others he will get 2-3 like yesterday... if he stays healthy he might even be above ppg this year.
It’s entirely possible. Christ he could do it without being on the first PP he’s that good.

Dude looks about as close as you can get to being generational without being generational

Most entertaining player on the team so far this season.
Most entertaining Hab I’ve seen don the uniform since 88-89. Man I don’t even think it’s close.
