He will emerge as the best player of the 22 draftWait this kid reaches 24 years old...
Already is.He will emerge as the best player of the 22 draft
Scherbak here.I would protect Filip Mesar over both!
I can't wait to see Hutson vs Chara 2.0Plus, his endocronologist says he will continue to grow until he is 35!
At 6'8" and 260 lbs as a 30-yr-old, Hutson will kill the league in his 3rd NHL contract!
Only argument is size, but that group is far too talented for that to matter. I'd love it if Slafkovsky earned that spot.There's no way CC shouldn't be on PP1. He's one of the league's leading goal leaders.
Well, it’s a nice problem to have.Only argument is size, but that group is far too talented for that to matter. I'd love it if Slafkovsky earned that spot.
They hate us cause they ain’t us.The thread was started on the main board by a ranger fan followed by a bunch of haters making consistently snarky comments like he the next Bobby Orr hurr durr
Then they blame Habs fans for those kinds of comments because he was hyped up too much..... but check out page 1 of that thread and see which camp actually incited the silliness.
It's pretty clear there is a particular crowd that is unhappy about where lane ended up and how he is looking.
They hate us cause they ain’t us.
Honestly I enjoy reading the thread. Guy is killing it.
I think it’s great. Love those kinds of threads.Its strange.
I mean, the Habs suck and they are low hanging fruit to make fun of. They should enjoy that.... but it's not enough for some people. Instead, they have to pull some mental gymnastics to downplay lane too.
It's the kind of takes that make you think pit of hate is bottomless and it's never enough.
I think it’s great. Love those kinds of threads.
“But he’s -11!” Whatever. That’s how it was with Karlsson too. Don’t feed the trolls.
You know what they say don't wrestle with pigs.Full disclosure, I wasn't the biggest Karlsson fan but I wasn't trying to paint him as a liability either.
The lane hate is definitely is going there.
Agreed all around here.Well, it’s a nice problem to have.
You’re starting to see where we’re going here. If we start debating whether or not CC should be on first line PP, then we’re in good shape.
Yes, for sure. Im critical of many of Hugo moves but this one he hit out of the park.With his demonstrated work ethic, coachability, and internal drive to succeed...
Imagine what kind of athlete he's going to be at 25.
Future is bright
To give the team credit for taking Hutson is hard for me seeing as they took someone like Mesar so much earlier, who, even if he panned out, his likely impact would be an undersized 2nd liner.Yes, for sure. Im critical of many of Hugo moves but this one he hit out of the park.
I know he has struggled defensively but he needs time to figure out how to play the nhl game best using his size and abilities. That will come for sure.
Offensively, kid has IT in spades.
Lane, Guhle, DR, and Wifi they have a core to build around. They just need to surround them with better vets. Got to find a better vet RD next summer.
Fortunately if there's one thing you can bet on, it's GMs being size queensTo give the team credit for taking Hutson is hard for me seeing as they took someone like Mesar so much earlier, who, even if he panned out, his likely impact would be an undersized 2nd liner.
I was so mad we didn't take Hutson at 26. And again at 33. So grateful all the other teams were too stupid to take this kid. Didn't some teams have 3-4 second round picks?
It’s so funny because he is very (favourably) comparable to Erik Karlsson and the mere mention of this causes meltdownsThe thread was started on the main board by a ranger fan followed by a bunch of haters making consistently snarky comments like he the next Bobby Orr hurr durr
