Papa Savvy is there for Lane.
Someone is going to break their ankles trying to keep up with him.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.
The fact that so many posters were crying about Bobrov now looks so ridiculously dumb in hindsight.
Jury is still out for Mesar and Beck too. I feel like people bust Mesar way too soon.I still feel like we should have picked Mitchkov, but the Hutson pick and Slafkovsky pick are looking f***ing good, I must admit
Honestly? I don't think I would either, at this point at least
So what's the "he cant skate backwards, wont survive in nhl" crowd saying these days?

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.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)

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.2022 is to Bobrov what 2007 was to Timmins
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.As of now no but Evans will be 29 next season and will likely cost close to 3 millions for about 4 years.

He is indeed a very different type of player - forward or D-man.The hockey world is not prepared for Lane Hutson.
It’s entirely possible. Christ he could do it without being on the first PP he’s that good.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.
Most entertaining Hab I’ve seen don the uniform since 88-89. Man I don’t even think it’s close.Most entertaining player on the team so far this season.
The gap will increase, as Habs players will realize that their best play is just to give the puck to Hutson.Lane Hutson is leading the entire nhl in offensive zone time of possession. Behind him are McDavid, nylander, Jack Hughes and Clayton Keller. That’s the top 5, but he is 30s ahead of second place

Nick always seems to start slowBeen the best overall and noticeable Hab up to now along with Montembeau and Caufield
Suzuki has been not good
The puck is also safer on his stick than it is on anyone else's. Maybe 10% of the time he does it for too long and panic clears it, where that's 75% of our other defensemen's strategy.Generational hater schtick aside,
I've never seen a player on the habs possess the puck more than him. Not even Subban, Markov nor Kovalev.
Kovalev had the puck all the time, but I don't think to the extent of Hutson. His hockey sense is astronomical. Like probably with the likes of Makar, Malkin-Crosby, McDavid, Hughes etc.
Absolute game changer if he can keep that up throughout the season + playoffs to a certain extent.

No worries
Wait until he gets going and Hutson finds his way to the #1 PP

That’s insane but not even that surprising.Lane Hutson is leading the entire nhl in offensive zone time of possession. Behind him are McDavid, nylander, Jack Hughes and Clayton Keller. That’s the top 5, but he is 30s ahead of second place
