Montreal Canadiens defenceman prospect Lane Hutson (85) during the Montreal Canadiens Development Camp
When considering Lane Hutson, he’s often regarded as a top prospect for the Canadiens. However, recent discussions by Dany Dubé and Martin McGuire suggest that the situation may be more complex than initially thought.
According to McGuire, the situation is becoming increasingly complicated, contrary to previous assumptions. Hutson is currently committed to finishing his NCAA season with a prominent club in Boston, which may delay negotiations with Kent Hughes regarding a potential entry-level contract.
Dubé expresses concerns about the challenges of convincing Hutson to sign with the Canadiens once his NCAA season concludes. McGuire’s inquiry during a recent discussion hints at underlying doubts among those analyzing the situation.
Dubé’s insights suggest that Hutson may explore alternative options if he doesn’t receive an offer from the Canadiens by the end of the season. While the likelihood of Hutson joining Montreal seems high, there are lingering uncertainties, prompting speculation about potential hidden factors influencing his decision.
