He is definitely struggling a little bit defensively at the moment. He is a rookie though. If anything, struggling defensively as a young player makes him more similar to Quinn Hughes.
He is on a tremendous path, but a little slow down was to be expected. He is still quite good in most areas of the game despite the lull.
it was more of a facetious comment on how quickly young players career trajectories can change. Or at least the perception of them
The game is effortless for him when in transition or on offense. It’s a high effort game for him to defend. He can do it but it’s a lot of work for him. He will improve of course over time.

Hutson is 50 games into his NHL career and is already slightly better defensively than E. Karlsson and Q. Hughes were 50 games into theirs. Due to his size, Lane will never be a killer, but with experience, he'll learn all the tricks to defend and anticipate better in his own end. His compete level, confidence, and IQ are already high-end.
