Lane Hutson will start the season in Montreal and here's why
When you look at a young defenseman like Lane Hutson at the beginning of his career, you know he's going to be good, but you also know he has a long road ahead of him.
Indeed, he is seen as a future star, and I personally believe in that, but he will need to learn many things before achieving that status.
Hockey is a sport of mistakes. No one is spared, but you need to minimize the number and impact of those mistakes. A player who makes a mistake and works hard to fix it will always be noticed positively.
This is exactly what needs to be done when you have a profile like Lane Hutson. He is a defenseman who likes to take risks, which results in spectacular hockey, but also a high degree of mistakes.
In a sequence from Sunday's game against the Leafs' rookies, number 48 made some very nice moves but tried to do too much and lost the puck, leading to a turnover.
He got back to skating, intercepted the puck himself, and immediately relaunched the attack, creating a scoring chance.
In my opinion, Lane Hutson not only shows that he has the skills to play in the NHL, but he also shows that he is young, will make mistakes, and will work hard to correct them.
When a young player has both talent and the right mindset, he deserves a place with the big club. And you, do you believe Lane Hutson will have his place with The Canadiens?
