Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[1909]

He played 38 games last year in the NCAA to which you can add the WJC if you want.

It's not even December and he's already at 20, while playing way too many minutes with too much responsibilities.

Right on. These College kids need to adapt to pro hockey at AHL level. Struble broke last season after January. And Hutson does not have the physical attributes of Struble.

Teams are adapting to him, and Saint-Louis plays him way too much.

What the hell is going on with him? He looks like a shell of himself.

Dipsy Dolittle.
His possession isn't amounting to much and he's taking himself out of position far too often.
Definitely over exposed and certainly over rated at this point in his career.
We cant afford a top 4 dman playing at a -40 pace.
I'm not surprised I suggested it might be an issue coming in to this season.
People fell in love with his 2 points last season while completely ignoring his -2 in two games.

That's the problem with Lane, people love his flashy style, but condone his obvious weaknesses. And add to that the fact that opposing teams are adapting to his ice ballet, the fact that Marty the genius is overusing him, and even with a normal workload the tear and wear was predictable in a long NHL season with such a small D that always give 100% on the ice. I am not trying to hit him down, I like him, but the coach sees himself way too much in him. Small, very talented at some parts of the offensive game, character guy, big effort all the time. Again, MSL sees himself a lot in him, and by some kind of narcissic transfer he plays him way too much.

It’s the NHL, advanced pro scouts know how to do their jobs and identify player weaknesses for their teams to game plan for

Fatigue. Rigors of the NHL are starting to show.

Or just lingering accumulated injuries
