I hope we just get one more inch and 19 lbs. 5'10 and 180 would be just fine.

Makar is going to be the best defenceman of the generation. Needless to say, Hutson has some high expectations of himself.

I'm really liking Lane's offensive game these last few games. The placement and timing of his passes are elite, his shot is underrated and he gets it through like it's nobody's business; Hutson also dekes and feints at a sky-high level and I have come to really appreciate how he seems to generally be in the right position defensively to be efficient.

That said, Hutson clearly still must improve his skating, get stronger physically, and refine his defensive game in the coming years if he wants to cement himself as something close to a blue-chip prospect, nevermind the way-premature Makar comparisons.

I know, it's hard to contain excitement/hype after the start Hutson has had offensively as a true freshman in the NCAA. But the kid still requires a lot of reps and refinement before he's anywhere close to NHL-ready, and so we should pump the brakes a bit and let him develop a lot more before we try and rush him into the NHL.

Anyways, cheers. And have a good night.

Just let us have fun, OK!?

(You're right about everything)

No.

Cale Makar walked so that Lane Hutson could run

My mother (RIP) would of made sure he hit 200 pounds....

I'm not sure how his game is going to translate to the NHL. He's going to be hammered like nobody's business UNLESS the refs do their job. Otherwise we will need a few more X level and unhinged fighters to makes sure he and CC are not constant targets.

I stood next to him pregame at the BU - UConn game a few nights ago.

I am 5'9 and he is shorter than me so the people claiming 5'10 are wrong. The 5'8 on eliteprospects seems like the correct height, even if maybe slightly stretching it. Kid is miniscule.

I’ve never seen people saying he was 5’10.

He was measured at 5’8.5 at the combine this summer

Men and their imaginary inches

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Judging by that picture he wears a size 6 shoe

 

[ForsbergForever]

So I've learned that he's probably not going to be the next Chris Pronger...

Went back and looked... you might be right.

Men and their imaginary inches

I mean at the combine he was measured at 5'8.5. Am 18 year old growing 0.5 inches in about 6 months isn't a crazy thought.

So did I and he does have small feet, don't know how stays upright.

 

[HuGort]

Would he be smallest defenseman to ever play in NHL?

Depends how you define small. This guy was 5'7:

Also, I'd imagine teams beef up heights and weights once players hit the NHL.
