Interesting… According to what journalist Jonathan Bernier reports in a recent paper, we should expect an agreement to be signed shortly between the Canadiens and Lane Hutson. We invite you to read his piece on the subject.

Kent Hughes recently held discussions with Lane Hutson’s representatives, and it would appear to have been productive. If this happens soon, could it “free” Hutson and allow him to regain his wings? Surely, yes

It’s interesting to note that the Journal de Montréal journalist wonders whether Hutson could sign for three years or for the longer term, seven years. Normally, a bridge contract isn’t necessarily signed a year in advance. But if the journalist is talking about it, we’ll keep an eye on it.We agree that, along with the issue of the second center, the case of Lane Hutson was one of the issues of the summer. Of course, the question is: what will his annual salary be?

’Overtime’

– Indeed.

The truth is that we won’t know who will win the Bolduc/Mailloux for years, if ever. They are both different players who will have some good games and some bad games. Maybe both teams won? Maybe it was a mutually beneficial trade?
