Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[LaP]

question here. If he finished this year, over 45 points. Positive ratio….
Next year is his last contract year. What kind of money he could get for his 26/27 season? I was thinking about 6,000,000 per year?

Lat's hope KH wont make the same mistake MB did with Subban

BTW i just realized we drafted Hutson with the pick we got from Kulak rofl

 

[Andrei79]

I look forward to every game he plays. It's such a fun feeling to have. And what's great is he's not alone on an island like Subban was.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Too much hype.

Crash and burn he will.

Hopefully not

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

The sooner Marty stop playing politics with his PP1 the better......give him 10 games max,
Hutson deserve to be on the first wave of pp above the 5 players not just Matheson.

I’ll repeat this - I think he’s great on the second unit. It gives us awesome balance.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Too much hype.

Crash and burn he will.

Hopefully not

I think the hype isn't that high.

He have 100% the skillset of Quinn Hughes. Except, maybe speed of skating, but the rest?!?! I'm pretty sure, yeah!!

He is a hard worker aswell with great attitude. He want to make the difference and make his teammates better!

 

[Thomas Sowell]

Omf! . Beautiful

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I think about 3 more games of pp1 not performing, and Hutson will be used there.

Pp2 doesn't have much talent and Hutson is the main reason why they are performing well, so imagine what Hutson could do with the talent that pp1 has.

If we could get him at 6 per long term, do it and run screaming laughing.

If he keeps progressing and producing like he does, he will get Slaf/Caufield/Suzuki money

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

We’ve seen enough. First ballot HOF if he retires today.

Hey you're an Ottawa fan! So you must be familiar with this:

To have a balance, that first wave would need to be as good or better than the 2nd wave...which right now the results dont say the same

We can balance lines...but Hutson is on the 1st as he's the most dynamic player...better than Suzuki, Caufield and all the rest.

It's like using McDavid on the 2nd wave....

❤ "Dance off!"

This shows the maturity of their captain
lol
Brady is even getting ripped by his own fan base for being an idiot

 

[negative77]

Seeing as we are the Montreal Canadiens and we can't have nice things, I'm just waiting for some idiot to take a run at our Lane and break him Patrick Laine style.

Xhekaj sent the message, there are no sacred cows.

Yeah it’s working right now so keep it

It's funny because they used a similar strategy in 2024 as the Rangers did in 2017.

Habs were high on Hage and so they moved up to try and have a chance to get him, which they did.

In 2017, the Rangers were sky high on Pettersson. They traded Stepan to get the 7th pick, hoping for a chance to draft him, but came away with Andersson as we all know. I do wonder which scout was that high on Pettersson.

Reminds me of their 2020 draft.

1. Draft high (Laffy / Demidov).

2. Trade up from 22 to 19 to draft Schneider. They were locked in on him and tried to trade up several times to make it happen. Finally got the deal done.

Maybe he learned to get it done early for Hage.

 

[Ozmodiar]

But how he does his D is VERY different. Stick, skating forward with the attacker to cut the available space, unrelenting pursuits. It’s very unconventional and was susceptible to questions.

It’s no longer unconventional. NHL D coaches are coaching exactly that.

A lot of emphasis on shutting plays down early - forwards are so fast and skilled now, so an ounce of prevention ...

Defend by attacking - Toes first / surfing, creating lateral gap, playing on top to shut things down early.

The questions came mostly from old school thinking.

I guess I just showed my age

But yeah, it’s a different approach for sure.
