That’s just you choosing to interpret things that way because you had a preconceived narrative that you wanted to rant about.No, your comment was clearly an attempt at exaggerating Subban’s problematic aspects and diminishing Subban’s reputation as a top player, hence: “false equivalence”.
If he were to make the US team, I can't imagine the damage him and Q. Hughes could do if they were paired on the 1st PP wave. Although they'd likely put Hutson on the 2nd PP wave...If Lane Hutson does not make USA olympic team for sure no medal.
Most spectacular habs players in my lifetime
Born in 75 so I remember Lafleur in early 80s so:
In order
Stephane Richer
Alex Kovalev
Lane a Hutson
P.k Subban
When he was on.... Richer was so lethal. Unfortunately it seems that people remember just his shot but how many time Richer carried the puck end to end beating 3 or 4 players..
Kovalev was so smooth with one of the best hands in history.
His charisma on the ice was unmatched except of Lafleur.
I talked to him many times and his prestance and charisma off the ice was unbelievable. He was a lot bigger off the ice than he looked on the ice. The dude was huge.
Richer either.
Today Richer is maybe at 6.2 255 pounds....so big and not a lot of fat even today....those who have seen him in person knows what I talking about.
He is spectacular but not at the same level than those 4More love for Suzuki please.
Did you miss the wraparound goal yesterday?
Suzuki is so smart and efficient that he doesn’t dazzle he just impressesMore love for Suzuki please.

At the same age, it’s a no brainer.He’s already better than Subban, I was and am a huge Subban fan. Subby was a bigger goal scoring threat, but I can see Lane locking in at 15goals per season for the next decade or so.
He’s such a prolific playmaker that even without a howitzer of a shot his deception and ability to make plays will keep goalies off balance enough to score 12-15 per year. He has a decent shot anyway, but he prefer to look the d/forward off and dish. You can’t read Lane, unpredictability is what makes him so effective.
Revisionism.I always liked Subban but he was never on this level. Hutson is going into this new category of dominant point per game defenseman, the Makar, Hughes category.
He had his adjustment period at the start of the season, now he's killing it.
He's already a legit point per game producer, with this lineup. He can be more when there's more than 1 scoring line.
No, come on. Were getting ahead of ourselves.At the same age, it’s a no brainer.
Is he better than peak PK…? Honestly, I think he maybe still. I think it’s close at least. Hutson seems to impose his will more.
I felt later in his career subbans biggest strength was as a shutdown/pk guy.
He was a game breaker early in his career but not nearly at the level lane is today.
Revisionism.
Subban was the best defender on the planet from 13 to 15 and was completely insane as a player. Lane isnt there yet.
No, come on. Were getting ahead of ourselves.
I do wonder how Subban would be perceived if he did the head fakes all the time as Hutson does to incredible success. I'm sure it would be seen as very disrespectful to some.
No we’re not. Lane is already better.No, come on. Were getting ahead of ourselves.
This Hutson kid man, with that apple ties Chelios for 6th in rookie D points. 1 away from my all time fave D Ray Bourque and 2 apples from the rookie record.
4 more points until 3rd all time, and I know it'll never happen but 7 points until 2nd all time rookie D points and 12 until 1st. 5.33 games left.
What a show this kid has put this year.
