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.

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. :laugh: That’s how it was with Karlsson too. Don’t feed the trolls.

Hutson will always make everyone better.

His IQ is something else, at offense and defensive aswell.

I'm soo hype with him in the future with Demidov, Hage and more !

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 😎
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.

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.

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?

Fortunately if there's one thing you can bet on, it's GMs being size queens

It’s so funny because he is very (favourably) comparable to Erik Karlsson and the mere mention of this causes meltdowns
