LD Lane Hutson - Boston University, NCAA (2022, 62nd, MTL)

[MoneyManny]

He has like 12 games played and already looks way too strong for his league out there. If he keeps it up his height isn't going to stop him.

 

[Captain97]

I feel like this kid may not be getting enough hype, I know he's small but he is demloshing the goal totals of other D+1 Dmen and putting up similar/better points per game in the NCAA that went on to become stars.

In 12 games he has the same amount of goals as Adam Fox did in his entire D+1 season (pretty sure that was the old record)

Keep posting those LH highlights boys.

Shoutout to the people that had Hutson in the first half of the first round in their rankings.

There wern’t many of us, but to those that did; we are seeing some early returns.

Caufield all over again it looks like, early returns are positive but their will be doubters until he gets to the show. Excited to see him in the WJC soon

Caufield was definitely more accepted as a forward - yes he probably should have gone top-5 at the time - but Hutson fell Damn well into the 3rd round.

Hutson is picked by the Habs late in the 2nd round and not 3rd round.

yeah - as I said; he damn well almost fell to the third.

Yeah I remember at the draft Bergevin saying he spoke with Caufields agent the night before the draft and they we're convinced he was going top 10 based on feedback from the teams. Fell all the way too 15.

Hutson though made a touch more sense given his size on D. Will see how he does at camp and the WJC next as well

 

[badfish]

I wanted him with the Habs pick at 26. I was angry when they didn't pick him at 33. I was elated when they got him at 62. I was a big fan from early on.

 

[Nipsey]

Will he be a Franchise dman like Adam Fox or Quinn Hughes? Probably not.

But he has that x-factor about him. Special qualities in his game. With the right development can see him being a star dman. Homerun pick IMO.

Luke Hughes scored 17 goals in his D+1

Luke Hughes scored 17 goals in his D+1

You are correct, I saw the record thing somewhere else.

Luke Hughes is going to be a monster.

As a Devil fan, I'm sure Seamus Casey will be compared to Lane Hutson for quite some time. It's hard to believe Casey hasn't been the best true freshman with 14 points in 14 games but Lane has been even better.

Crazy how awesome the Devils prospect pool is paired with how well they are playing. Truly wish Habs can replicate a part of this turnaround.

10 years of sucking followed by brilliance in the front office will do this.

Caufield's game had no hole. He played the game the right way in every aspects, his skating was phenomenal, he already had shoulders like bowling balls. Hutson skating in straight lines and backward needs a lot of work, he's also very frail.

Caufield's skating was good, but it wasn't phenomenal. He had great edges but lacked high-end speed/acceleration. He was also 5'7 and 163 lbs when drafted.
He improved his speed and is now much bigger and stronger at 174 lbs.

Hutson pretty much needs to make the same kind of improvements.

 

[Favster]

He needs to calm down his upper body when in full stride. Once he does and focuses more power on lower body, his speed will automatically improve

That's true.

His arms are moving so much while trying to gain speed. I guess he'll have to get his legs stronger so all the power can come from there naturally.

3a night for Lil Hutson

Now has 17 pts in 13 games this season

This kid's offensive brain is next level. If he learns how to relax his upper body while hustling and gets stronger, watch out. Sky is the limit.
