The best thing about Lanes mistake last night was it's fresh in his mind and he'll make sure that doesn't happen in the NHL. As far as expectations. I have none for the rest of the season. Just enjoy watching him.
I think what will surprise most is that Lane won’t look that small out there.
I hope he embraces the spotlight because there is no escaping it as long as he remains a Hab.
People really like to make a big deal out of Hutson being small (Which is a win for the Habs, if he was 6"0 instead, there's no way he's still there at #62) but he's 5''10, same as Quinn Hughes and Makar is just an inch taller at 5''11. Not saying he'll be as good as those 2 but their size didn't stop them at all to be stars in the NHL.
I"ve been selling Hutson to my dad since we drafted him, after those 2 games i fully expect my dad to tell me hes not good enough as if he could see the future
Prior to the beginning of this season, I predicted the Canadiens would finish 8th in the Atlantic and anywhere from 6th to 9th worst in the league. So, not far off.
However, the individual and team improvement has been evident to see, being the second full season of the rebuild.
I'm looking forward to the draft and changes coming this summer. I don't expect the playoffs next season, nor do I expect another bottom 5 finish. Another season of growth towards a top 3 finish in the Atlantic would satisfy my view of this rebuilding process.
Great shows gentlemen. I have a hypothetical trade scenario between habs and coyotes given the uncertainty with the yotes, what do you guys think of trading the habs 2025 first round pick (top 5 protected) colorados 2nd round pick this year owned by the habs, josh anderson, jordan harris for Clayton Keller?
There's no scenario where the Habs keep both Hutson and Harris. Unfortunately for Harris, the Habs prospect pool is simply too good to have 2 smallish Dmen that are not physical on the team. If this was a few years ago or the last 25 years they would both likely have been on the team. But with Reinbacher, Guhle, Mailloux, Xhekaj, Engstrom, Struble and Bogdan, there's just too much depth there.
Good stuff. I listen to you guys when I just want to take it slow and relax
Perspective! Thank you!
So do the Habs draft Cole Hutson with Winnipeg's pick then?
