Prospect Info: Lane Hutson Part 2

[Kojo]

Could Hutson go to Laval ?

He's already too good for the AHL imo.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

He’s not playing in the AHL.

 

[1909]

I kinda hope he does for a bit. Needs to get heavier.

Honestly though, he’s shown he’s ready. So it won’t surprise me if he starts right away.

It was like watching Subban tonight. Awesome

He got the whole Summer to do so.

 

[FloJack]

I’m still shocked at his readiness. I can’t believe what I’ve already seen from him. Good gawd this D might be special fast.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He got the whole Summer to do so.

Yes. But he’s not going to gain 25 pounds over the summer.

 

[overlords]

Yes. But he’s not going to gain 25 pounds over the summer.

I dunno man puberty can be weird like that

 

[1909]

Yes. But he’s not going to gain 25 pounds over the summer.

The guy will never weight 190 lbs. But if he can reach 175-180, that will be enough.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

The guy will never weight 190 lbs. But if he can reach 175-180, that will be enough.

I’d love for him to play next year. I just don’t want him getting killed.

 

[FLHabs]

This guy is going to be electric every time he touches the puck. He didn't look bad defensively too, he's quick, shifty, great stick work, high IQ, and was effective at getting the puck out of the zone.

He needs to go on the MSL quads regiment, imagine how much more dangerous he's going to become as he gets more explosive.

 

[1909]

I’d love for him to play next year. I just don’t want him getting killed.

He won't. Hughes in Vancouver has not been killed. Caufield has not been killed. Johnny Gaudreau never been killed.

Hutson has played against heavier players all his life.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Off the top of my head, some takes we heard about Hutson that are already looking terrible:

- "Hutson won't be more than a 3rd pairing pp specialist"
- "Hutson's shimmies won't work in the NHL"
- "Hutson won't be able to produce well in the NHL because he's not an elite skater like Quinn Hughes"
- "Hutson should be converted to a forward"
- "Should trade Hutson"

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

He's already too good for the AHL imo.

Just to go help Laval make the playoffs and play in the playoffs, he can start in Montreal next season.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He won't. Hughes in Vancouver has not been killed. Caufield has not been killed. Johnny Gaudreau never been killed.

Hutson has played against heavier players al his life.

I know.

And I believe in him. But he’s very light. I wouldn’t mind giving him a little time to pick on some more pounds.

[26Mats]

hutson is already my favorite hab. he's electric, and fearless.

 

[417]

He put David Perron in the spin cycle tonight my gosh.

[1909]

And I believe in him. But he’s very light. I wouldn’t mind giving him a little time to pick on some more pounds.

You think it is less dangerous playing at AHL level ?

 

[Canadienna]

Lets be real basically everyone else on our D would have just shot this while the lane was closed.

 

[GHJimmy]

He is him!

 

[tooji]

the way he weaves back and forth to find a lane out of thin air - this is his bread and butter

Ya the shimmies have been addressed; they work.

The forward thing was never an option, that’s just weird.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Electrifying

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

You think it is less dangerous playing at AHL level ?

Yes. The speed is slower and the players aren’t as big.

 

[1909]

Yes. The speed is slower and the players aren’t as big.

The players are as big.
