Seeing that you guys are in every Habs thread, I think thats very accurate. Perhaps in a more literal sense than you were intending. Like the guest that just doesn't know when to leave.

NHLers are more intimidated of this pip squeak than 95 percent of the big players in the league because they know Hutson will make them look silly.

Like they are visually scared to attack him 1 on 1. It's quite the thing to see.

Yeah It's pretty impressive, its also why he has the puck so much , they don't even challenge him , so he keeps it , I don't even know if playing super aggressive on him would work , if he leaves you in the dust its 4 on 5 and he's at the hashmarks

1. where was that said?

2. People are gullible to believe you without a source

3. complaining about Devils fans when you bring up their players in a thread dedicated to Hutson. #livingrentfree

I like you guys you bring conversation to the boards , doesn't have to be an echo chamber and you guys follow the league and other players , don't see the issue. Not troll posters

It's all those shoulder fakes + dekes they hesitate because he's going to juke them.

A good though rare thought on the prospect boards. These threads are open to everyone so they should be for everyone. If any teams fans want only their fanbase making post in a player thread in the prospect forum or only "positive" posts then then their team has their own thread on their own forum for it to be like that.

Hutson is a special player.

Personally, I've never seen a player like him. He's gonna be a trend maker for sure.

Buium look like him a bit, he too will be a special player.

The quickness with whom he takes the information, analyzes it and reacts is something I've never seen before, to be honest.

This guy's brain will be studied when he dies.

I knew the league was gonna have a problem when he said in an interview that he doesn't really listen to music. The kid is made of weird hockey genius stuff.

He's basically Lionel Messi

He's like a point guard with the puck on his stick. He dekes and fakes until the player in front of him is caught flat footed, opening up a lane to pass, shoot, or carry the puck. There is no comparable because the way he plays is so unique.

It was fun to see in the NCAA but most people thought "Well, it's cool, but NHL players won't bite on these kind of tricks". 5 games into his NHL career, it's becoming obvious that his game will translate and it's a problem. Will he get figured out? Teams and players will probably adapt and find ways to contain him, but he is only 20 years old. Chances are his bag of trick will only get bigger as he gets more experience.

Nobody knows how his career will go, but I do think it will be one of the most entertaining careers to follow.

I’ve seen enough, retire #48

This is what Lane Hutson said last night: "My game is going to evolve & it's going to keep changing to whatever I need it to be. It's definitely nice that something are working but I am also learning what doesn't work as well"

Uh, the technical term would be a crowverdose

Harrumpf! Where did you get your JD in Bird Law?

Hutson had looked awesome, cool it on the f***ing Makar comparisons.

I honestly think he can be 1 step below Makar. 1 small step below. Which means he could become a top 5 NHL D-man.

complaining about Devils fans when you bring up their players in a thread dedicated to Hutson.

Blah, blah, blah. We all knew you were lurking.

I was hoping the Habs draft Lane Hutson at 33rd and was disappointed they went for Owen Beck. Our next pick was at 62nd and I said there was no way he would be there and even if he was there, there was no guarantee the Habs would draft him. To my pleasant surprise he was still available at 62nd and the Habs did draft him.
