Hey, would you look at that, we’ve got another fun, offensively gifted but undersized defenseman coming out of the NTDP!
Lane Hutson put together a really strong season with the NTDP this season, finding very good scoring results, but even more impressively, continuing to improve and pick up steam as the season went on. He’s been a quick riser in a number of draft rankings between the mid-season and final rankings, and he brings, if nothing else, a really interesting skillset and profile. And while there’s some work that needs to go into polishing out his game, if he hits in the way that he has the potential to, he might well be an absolute steal for a team in the back half of this first round.
