Prospect Info: [2022 - 62nd] Lane Hutson (NCAA - Boston University)

[26Mats]

This definitely feels like when we had Subban in the prospect pool. A 2nd rounder that was performing like a very good 1st rounder before making the jump to the AHL.

I mean, he's accomplishing more than Subban did in his D +1 year. But there is still the size factor and we don't know how much of a factor it will be at the NHL level. This was much less the case with Subban. But he was listed as 5'11 when drafted and we were told he may never be able to learn to play responsible, adequate D at the NHL level.

I think most people figured he'd have a solid season this year, but nobody could have predicted his season to be this good. He's making a case to go top 15 in a redraft as of now.

At this point, it would be top 5 I think, especially considering its not that far fetch to think he could end up being 5,11 when all said and done.

It won't be top 5 until Hutson proves he can do it in the nhl

What a dumb comment.

You can say the same for every prospect

 

[CHwest]

What a dumb comment.

Exactly, so how is it dumb?

Lane Hutson has one less point in two less games played than Logan Cooley who was taken 3rd overall...

 

[Legend123]

Exactly, so how is it dumb?

So why exactly would he not be a top 5 pick in a redraft?

I'm not saying he would but saying he has to prove it in the NHL is not a reason why he wouldn't be a top 5 pick

Hutson is a high boom-bust prospect and will remain like that until he reaches the NHL. He isn't going ahead of players that have a high floor and a high ceiling such as Nemec, Jiricek, etc.

Lane Hutson has one less point in two less games played than Logan Cooley who was taken 3rd overall...

Dumais produced a lot better than Wright last season but got drafted in the 3rd round. There is a lot more to take into consideration than just points.

And he's a Dman., i have no doubts, Hutson will make it big in the NHL, he produced everywhere he played, like Caufield did, a lot were saying Caufield, wouldn't translate his scoring ability to the NHL.

Dumais produced a lot better than Wright last season but got drafted in the 3rd round. There is a lot more to take into consideration than just points.

Dumais and Wright were not playing in the same league and Dumais has serious skating issues.

Cooley and Hutson are both freshman in the NCAA, both their teams are #1 of their conference in two of the 3 best conferences in NCAA Division 1. Cooley plays with Knies and Snuggerud on the Goopher top line. Hutson isn't even his team #1 dmen...

Cooley's team nominated two dmen with their best offensive season for the Hobey Backer, no forwards. Hutson is nominated for BU.

 

[jaffy27]

Makar returned for his sophomore year and he said that made all of the differences. No way Hutson doesn't play one or maybe 2 more years in the NCAA. I am thinking he turns pro after his sophomore year.

I got him penciled in for 2 more years….let that body develop into a young man’s body in the NCAA, give him another shot at the U20’s….bring him in in the spring of 25’

 

[Scriptor]

Getting the weight on him shouldn't be a problem. He can easily put 20-30 lbs with proper diet and weight training.

Creatine shake after Creatine shake?

Liquid diet, but not traditional juice.

Cooley and Hutson are not playing in the same conference, and Cooley is bigger + a far better skater.

Cooley and Hutson are both freshman in the NCAA, both their teams are #1 of their conference in two of the 3 best conferences in NCAA Division 1. Cooley plays with Knies and Snuggerud on the Goopher top line. Hutson isn't even his team #1 dmen...

This has nothing to do with ranking the players in a re-draft.

Creatine shake after Creatine shake?

Liquid diet, but not traditional juice.

Double scoop some gold standard whey and a high quality creatine. Feed him lean protein like mad Men.

We'll get this young lad big in no time.

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Wowser. Hutson is lighting it up!

- But I think he should return to NCAA for one more year.

I admit I was skeptical about LH being nabbed by CH in Round 2.

In Round 3, it’s looking like grand theft, which means Round 2 would have been A-OK.

I always lament Habs’ luck at the draft, but Hutson counters the ol’ frustrations.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Hutson has almost double the points of Seamus Casey, who is another undersized offensive dman that played for USDP last season. Casey was drafted 16 spots higher.

Hutson has the same number of points Caufield had in his d+1 season, but in 10 fewer games.

Cooley is a forward

Lane is a Dman

In the same league

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Lane Hutson has one less point in two less games played than Logan Cooley who was taken 3rd overall...

Hutson is also a whole one inch smaller than Cooley though, so that drops him 50 spots in a re-draft.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Where does he go in a re-draft as of today?

 

[sampollock]

Lane is sure a nice surprise.

beef up a bit Lane. Habs are needing a guy like this

 

[Ezpz]

Where does he go in a re-draft as of today?

Ahead of Slaf so probably first. I guess you could argue Jiricek ahead. No one has had a particularly impressive d+1

 

[Kennedys]

What the real height of this guy ?

NHL.com list him at 5'8" 148
HockeyDB.com list him at 5'9" 148
The NCAA list him at 5'10 155
Eliteprospects.com list him at 5'10 161

If I remember correctly 5'8 was measurement before the combine. 5'9 was measurement at the combine. 5'10 is measurement this year.

I'd go with the most recent number from the league he currently plays in of 5'10.
