Lane Hutson, a defenseman selected in the second round in 2022 with the pick obtained in the Brett Kulak trade with Edmonton, is among the Canadiens' top prospects. Although undersized, he made waves this season with Boston University in the NCAA, collecting 48 points in 39 games, earning him a nomination for the Hobey Baker Award. Some Canadiens fans are already envisioning Hutson wearing the Habs uniform in a near future.
According to an article by Félix Forget on the Danslescoulisses.com website, a source recently stated that defenseman Lane Hutson, although considered one of the Canadiens' top prospects, is not untouchable in Montreal.
This information was also mentioned in Eric Engels' column on Sportsnet, where he suggested that Kent Hughes could consider trading the young player as part of a transaction this summer, indicating that Hutson would not be considered an untouchable player within the organization.
Eric Engels also stated that he would be very surprised to see Lane Hutson involved in a potential trade, as he believes it is still too early to accurately evaluate the potential of the young defenseman. Although it is still too early to determine Hutson's future with the Canadiens, it is undeniable that he possesses incredible potential.
