Yet, the year we went to the finals, at least in the playoffs, we had great transition off the rush. No man-to-man. Marty needs to revisit this crap for next season.

Even on the 2nd wave though, I'm sure he would've given him some time .. He even gave him time in OT

Kyle Turris, age 25 on right. Listed at 6,1 195
Beside him is weircoch, listed at 6'6 190.
Which would be 170 lbs at 5'10.

Oh god. You had to remind me that they have a 2nd unit
Yes but do you really want to build a defensive group with such a small D in it? The hockey sense is super elite, but still, he is limited physically and was protected tonight, and opposing teams will adjust to him and he will become a target. That's the hockey mentality even in this modern era. Yes he he was not bad, but we are far away from being able to project him as a complete first pairing D. To me there is not much new to take away from this first game. We all knew he was gifted offensively, very intelligent on the ice, but with huge physical limitations to play in his zone.

Guhle 6’3, 210
Reinbacher 6’3, 209
Mailloux 6’3, 220
Xhekaj 6’4, 240
Struble 6’0, 202
Those all look to be mainstays with size. Their are other smaller defensive prospects too.
Alright not bad but I have to bring up this point; he is not expected to be a first pairing D. Look at how we drafted, we draft big mobile guys with an edge. We picked a D 5th overall last season. We have a plethora of guys coming up. Lane Hutson is not a big investment of an asset that must be a top tier player. He’s an almost extra third round pick we bought a lottery ticket with and we fell ass backwards in a dominating point producer in the NCAA.
Look, the expectation is not a horse that can play all situations and all 27 minutes like Shea Weber could. It’s to be a dynamite PP point man and a puck moving D out of a second or third pair. We have other horses for our first pairing and minute crunchers. It will allow to be who he is without the added role of being a rock. It’s a total win win situation for the player and the team.

First rounder for sure. Maybe top ten.
and by the time everything is said and done there’s a possibility that we got the two best players in that draft.
So far we are navigating that weak draft in a very big way. Considering all the love I have for Owen Beck, this is shaping up incredibly.

Another example of making out like bandits in a not so good draft year.

It’d be tough to beat 1984. Roy, Richer, Corson, Svboda…
Richer has legit HOF talent. Just too bad he wound up with mental health issues. And back then teams didn’t understand it and couldn’t properly help.
Add to it (edit 87) and you have the makings of a multi cup winning scenario.. we are allowed to dream right LG?

Indeed. Especially with the draft coming up and us having a high pick.
Honestly, if you added Cellebrini to this team we’d be well positioned for a championship in a few years.
Lightest defenceman in a very long time certainly, but not ever. Pierre Pilote peaked at like 165 so he was probably lighter when he started. Mind you that was 60 years ago. Probably been a few others along the way.
Those who think Hutson is too small to play in the NHL still live in 2012

I'm not saying he is, but he's currently the 3rd lightest player in the league. The 2nd is a non-NHLer who's played less than 10 games the last 4 years and the other is Yamamoto.
He can be an NHLer, but he's going to have to be that much more skilled than everyone else, and there will always be a risk of injury. And being a defenseman just makes it that more much difficult and rare to accomplish. Out of the lighter guys in the league, Girard is basically the only notable light defenseman. To get to an actual notable lighter weight defenseman, you have to go all the weigh (dad joke) to 166th lightest in the league with Luke Hughes. Him and fox are basically the only star level defensemen in the bottom 200 of weight, and Hutson, again is 3rd, technically 2nd lightest. It's really not an unreasonable fear that the size factor will hold him back, so don't act like it's foolish. But I think any one who's seen him play believes that he's up to the challenge.

Quinn Hughes is going to win the Norris but Hutson is too small? That’s funny.

I just watch the game. Very good 1st game from him! His transition game is top notch. Great skater. He is a very smart offensive D.
With a good development, I think he can be alright on defensive zone. He need to get bigger and everything will be fine.
He have very high potential and I really like what I see tonight!

The refs whistles were defective otherwise he would have had a 3 points night.
