I’m excited to watch him play, and see how his game translates. I have my doubts but will love to be proven wrong.

This should be interesting. Kid has talent but little size. I keep wondering how many guys under 5'10 can a team ice and not worry about being pushed around.

 

[Michoulicious]

Many eyes will be on those last Habs games just for that. Since Hutson is from Michigan, it would make sense to make him play his first game against Detroit.

 

[Breakers]

Nice summer for him
$100k signing bonus now
Another one in July

Ready for camp

 

[General Fanager]

Lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It’ll be interesting to see how he does

Zellweger is 6 months older, made the jump earlier this year and looks like he’s not going back to the ahl. Built similarly physically(zellweger a little more solid)

I think hutson will be dangerous offensively, but interested to see how he fairs defensively. Regardless he’s gunna be fun to watch

 

[SI90]

Excited to see what he’s got.

How about a slightly used Torey Krug to mentor him? On the house…

We have 60 points Mike Matheson, brand new, for you to replace him with if you want to let go of that pristine 2024 first round pick to replace your slightly used Torey Krug.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Lots of talent but will need to bulk up this summer and work on his skating

 

[Go Wings]

So if they play him in the final games of the season does that burn a year off his entry level?

Since the contract was registered for this season, the first year gets burned even if he didn't play since Hutson is 20. The slide rule only applies to teenagers.

Going back a few years, the Devils signed Joey Anderson and his first year burned without him playing. I believe the same happened with Alex Lyon and and Philadelphia.

Ah okay thanks

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Gonna be fun to watch Lane.

 

[Le Tricolore]

It'll be tough for him to win the Calder this late in the season, but I believe.

Calder, don't be ridiculous. He only has a shot at the Norris.

 

[LeProspector]

Both Montreal fans and other teams fans love this, scoring is going to go up for both teams.

Other teams don’t have any problems scoring against us.

Habs fans would love is scoring is going up for the opposition!

 

[CanadienShark]

Hands down the most interesting prospect for the Habs. If he turns out... He's going to be something special. If he doesn't, then it was a worthwhile gamble.

 

[loadie]

So happy he’s signed. The more excitement the better. Welcome Lane!!

 

[Jamaican Patty]
