Craig Button

And, you know, what I would say about Lane is his ability to master

every situation and then the next one and that, and he doesn't know what next new challenge will come to him, but he understands, okay, how to problem solve.

And then he understands how to master it.

Those are tremendous qualities that lane possesses.

And to me, it's his mind speed.

It's his ability to understand the game on a, on a, on a 3d level.

He understands it everywhere.

Uh, like top, bottom, middle, top, under, and that type of ability.

to not only understand but then to be able to process it with such great speed.

That's what he does.

And he knows how to – I remember Chris Pronger telling me this.

You know, he was always good at knocking pucks down.

We all know how he used his stick, you know, as a deterrent, shall we call it.

But he said, Craig, when I was 12, 13 years old, I was a skinny kid.

He goes, everybody wanted to run me through the boards.

So I had to learn a couple of things, how to knock pucks down and then use my stick because I had height to keep players away from me.

Lane Hudson does it in a different way.

He does it with head fakes and the quickness and the speed.

But, I mean, we're talking about a superstar defenseman.

You know, Rasmus Dahlin is a finalist for the Norris Trophy.
