Lane Hutson on his way to being better than Adam Fox? Former NHL scout makes a big revelation

In addition to dominating the NCAA in his first campaign in the league, earning numerous honours along the way, including a nomination for the prestigious Hobey-Baker Trophy, awarded annually to the league's top player, the 62nd overall pick in the last draft has been sensational in the post-season tournament.

He has taken his game to another level, helping his Boston University team win the Hockey East Conference title yesterday, where he scored two goals, including the game-winner, in overtime.

His performance is making everyone's eyes glaze over, and Canadiens fans are rubbing their hands in the fact that they have a player with exceptional potential in the organization.

Moreover, in connection with the young 19-year-old back, the Tricolore's former scout, Grant McCagg, made a big revelation, involving Hutson.

Wow!

Of course, comments like that are in no way meant to imply that he will ever become as good as Fox in the NHL. It's always a matter of development and adjustment, especially since Hutson isn't the biggest defenseman at 5-foot-10 and just 160 pounds.

However, to see such a buzz about him, even among NHL scouts, proves that there is something magical for the Habs' future that is being created with Hutson. If he could become just a piece of what Adam Fox is in this league, he would certainly be an important piece of the organization's future success.

In 36 games this year, including post-season games, Hutson has an incredible 14 goals and 47 points.
