Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

no.


obviously you dont differiencate playoff hockey than regular season hockey. Caufield scored most of his goals short side in the left circle this year, but generated almost no offense other than that. it is WAY harder to score in playoffs. I trade Caufield for a bigger winger that can make 70 pts anyday of the week. Debrincat was a 40 goals scorer but got traded 2 times, because hes almost unidimentionnal.

Goaltending, overall defense, opportunist and luck wins you cups, a lineup of 12 caufield would get destroyed vs 12 matt tkatchuk in playoffs hockey. have a good day

2 of his 10 goals were from coming down the right side on a rush against 1 or 2 defenders, from afar.

He's had 2 goals from close to the net.

Stop it with your ridicule reductions to creative a narrative. You just show your ignorance and bias.

The main and pretty much only bright spot on the Habs.

I expected his defensive play to be less, so pleasantly surprised by that still

This is the Lane Hutson thread right.
I just want to say how impressed I am with Lane's maturity since he called himself out.
Too bad about most of the rest of the team.

Man i also am impressed with his compete level and defensive awareness. I was afraid his defensive side would prevent him from being a solid top 4. But man i was so wrong about that. i don't he will ever be a top defensive player but only being good in his case, will give him the opportunities to show his creative talent more often. I'm so happy about that.

Now for me, the only thing that can prevent him from being a star in this league is injuries. But so far so good.

I thought matheson would be up there but I suppose they only count the passes that are dangerous to the opposing team

The thing we can all hang our hats on is Lane will not be a problem with the proper support.
Savard isn't it but the fact that he can look good with him in some games is encouraging in itself.

Absolutely. That's what elite players do. They don't need to rely on other players to be good. I'm absoluetly thrilled by this kind of player.

And i hope Demidov becomes that kind of player to.

He's got a great attitude and work ethic.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Better than I would expected for his rookie year.

I'm very impressive by with game so far.

He is not just really good on offense, but he play really well at defensive zone aswell. Yess, sometimes he will makes mistakes, but he have the hard work to try to repair his mistake. He is very fast minded player, high hockey IQ, elite passing ability, elite hands. This guy have everything.

Very special player right there!!

Jets were very bad defensively, theres a reason they got swept by a very bad team in Montreal. Caufield will never be able to win 1v1 battles, if you played at the junior major league level you would realise how hard it is to fight in corners against guys 40 pounds heavier and 6" taller. You dont win games with snipers, you win games with puck possession time, battles, gaining every inch you can, forechecking, hitting, blocking shots. Theres a reason no past cup champions had a 5'7 unidimentionnal sniper in their top 6. Next time you watch a habs game look carefully how painful it is for caufield to keep the puck while having a guy on his back and thats regular season.

Suzuki was amazing in his first playoffs thought.

Marchessault is like an inch taller and won the Conn Smythe like 18 months ago..

Caufield discussion moved to the Caufield thread.

Holy shit...

Marchesseault was surrounded by guys all over 6 ft tall and heavy D.

 

[beowulf]

Got to love that he has as many points as Shane Wright, who was so pissed habs passed on him 1st overall, in half the games.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Wasn't he the one who described Hutson's hands as "average"?

 

[Leto]

I believe that's Corey Pronman, not Wheeler. I always take Pronman & Wheeler takes with a grain of salt, but Pronman's mock draft usually has good insights from executives and scouts.​

27 minutes last night is veteran Andre Markov level ice time and it's ridiculous I have to say.
This guy is either going to hit a wall very early into this season or he's going to get injured.
We have Dmen lower down the ladder who need more ice even if it's just PK.
It doesn't seem like we are very strategic with his usage. PP1 and no PK makes more sense.

Last season when BU got off to a rough start, Hutson played over 30 mins and his coach talked about how he has to manage that because it's early in the season but then he said how hard it is to not have him on the ice cause he's Lane Hutson.

I said from the start the Habs, if you are going to put him in the NHL at 161 lbs or whatever he is, they need to be careful as going from the NCAA to 82 NHL games is a big task to take on physically. But he should have been put on PP1 from day 1, no question.

Lane seems to have a jordan-esque relentlessness.

Nobody on the team can follow him. He's on an island, vision and anticipation wise.

Another reason to get a vet RD and move Ghule back to the left.

Played 27 minutes against the Devil's. Too much
