If Slaf ends up mediocre this kid could make the 2022 draft for habs fans a lot better
LD Lane Hutson - Boston University, NCAA (2022, 62nd, MTL)

Given the historic / record-breaking point production of Lane's season, coupled with his MVP performance in the conference finals, there is no question that Lane Hutson deserves the Hobey Baker. But he probably won't win it given the bias to older players.

The favourite’s are probably Adam Fantilli and Logan Cooley - both of whom are younger than Hutson.

McAvoy knows
Cue the rumors that he's staying in college until he graduates so he can sign with the Bruins

Fantili is having the best season for a freshman in the past 30 years
I outraged half the habs board when I suggested having the first overall pick but picking the best player in the draft with your fourth selection.
I know, not likely, but fun to think about.

Well if that's true and you reverse the picks, then grabbing Slafkovsky in the 4th round is just as big a steal. Anyway you look at it, the habs did great.

The whole Hobey Baker thing is a fun argument. And ooooooo yeah it would be sick to see Hutson grab it. Doesnt seem likely though. In reality, I dont really care. The skill level is obvious. Recognition from the league would be sick, dont think that should be a be all end all thing anyways though. Dont really care who gets it, media always messes these things up anyways.
2 unreal seasons in the NCAA from him and Farrell being (at the start of the season) backburner prospects as in not necessarily top 3-4. (I liked them both in the top 3-4), is such a cool thing.
The things this kid did this year is absolutely wild. One more year before turning pro id say, hes a special kid though. Insane how the Habs lucked out on this kid. Another example of ignoring outrageous skill cause of size. Not saying he should have been a top 10-15. But it really does make me wonder how the level of this kids IQ and skill didnt outweigh the size thing to put him atleast top 30.
-Also a fault of drafting out of the development league without getting to see them against men first but sheeeesh. Exciting

Lane Hutson confirms he's 5'10
"I expect to grow a little bit more," he predicted. My brother (Quinn) is 5'11". I'm already at 5'10 and feeling great. When I jump on the ice, I find that we are all the same size.
“I gained a little weight. I weigh 164 lbs. I don't want to gain too much weight quickly and lose quickly. I have to be myself."

If Slaf ends up being great this kid (and Beck) could make the 2022 draft legendary.
McAvoy knows
Kind of brutal they make the other team watch lol

Eichel had 26 goals and 71 pts in 40 games.
Fantili is pacing for 33 goals and 74 pts in 40 games.
Engstrom is having a really good season as well.

Theres nothing that will make fanning on a 1OA pick better.

So pretty much equal using the pace but Eichel actually did put 71 pts.
Eichel was also the leader at +51 and had a 10 pts lead over the 2nd place in pts . (which was his teammate)
Slight edge to Eichel for me but it's debatable.
His size will ultimately limit his effectiveness defensively, but we can hope he can improve like Hughes with the right D partner. Watching him in Habs prospect camp it's hard to imagine him not at least making it and being at worst a Gostisbehere.

Maybe it wasn't clear but Eichel has 10 pts on his teammate who also 2nd in pts in the league. Fantilli has 6 pts.

Eichel did it in a much more difficult conference in a lower scoring era, with a less talented supporting cast. Hockey East is a much stronger conference than Big 10.
Eichel very easily had the better season. He had 27 more points than the next highest scorer in HE that wasn't his teammate.
I meant the comparison more in the sense that Hughes improved defensively becoming less of a liability this season.
