Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[417]

His strength is underrated.

He dusted Thompson yesterday. Not first time he's been able to fight off much bigger players.

It's really a common theme with him, he understands the laws of leverage.

He routinely wins pucks this way, he's always been the smallest player on the ice so he's figured out how to overcome.

Low man wins!

Might be nitpicking, but there were many times where he could have had a legit grade A scoring chance on the PP but he opted to turn around which took him out of the dangerous position. Of course when he can pass it to Laine that's fine, but I'd still like to see him be more confident and rip it from that slot in the first place. It will catapult his offensive game as it's not the first time this happened too.

Hutson does have to shoot the puck more.................that said the whole team seems to give up chances to pass to a guy who doesn't have as good an angle.........frustrating. But the way he can move the puck and himself opens up lanes that were not there with Matheson.

This kid is just wow with his skating and puck handling..............how anyone can say different would just be a hater on the main board!! lol

He will give the rookie of the year guys a run for their $$$

He is already pretty much what I thought would be his ceiling in the NHL, which was elite offensively and pretty decent defensively. I still think though he shouldn't be our best Dman if we ever want to contend for the cup.

He's already one of the best offensive d-men in the NHL. I think we still need a #1 defensive d-man, and I really hope Reinbacher turns into that guy. We don't have one otherwise.

I'm not gonna lie…I’m really enjoying all of the salty posts from other fans about Lane Hutson.

The constant need to diminish him means there's heavy amounts of copium at play

Lane has 1g 10a in his last 10 games and is -1. He's actually 0+/- in those last 10 games at regular even strenght as he was 0gf 1ga with an empty net.

He's now top 15 in points among all dmen. 2 points away from the top 10.

He's only gonna get better.

Generational player. Imagine him on any top team, how many extra points would he have. This is a rookie playing like the best defenseman in the league. There's no one better.

His such a fantastic player to watch. The thing I really like about him it's not only his talent, but his hard work when he make a mistake, he never give up. Most time when he make a mistake, he come back to save his mistake.

This guy will change everything in this team, looks the PP (yeah Patrik Laine help aswell), but the #1 PP is much more dynamic because of Lane Hutson.

This guy is a game changer.
