Lane Hutson Contract Talks Hit a Surprising Roadblock in Montreal
Defenseman Lane Hutson has been sensational since joining the Montreal Canadiens and is one of the fans' favorites.
Unfortunately, we have just learned some bad news regarding the negotiations for his next contract.
Lane Hutson is spectacular and is now a very important part of his team's defensive group.
A young man who is extremely talented, but also a good teammate in the locker room and highly appreciated by the other players.
The situation is reportedly difficult right now in the negotiations for Lane Hutson's next contract with the Montreal Canadiens
The well-known Frank Seravalli has just announced some bad news regarding the negotiations between Hutson's camp and Kent Hughes, as there doesn't seem to be much progress at the moment.
Lane Hutson extension: "I don't think that there's been a ton of progress there, I think they had some initial talks and they are still looking at that; I think the ballpark is in that Brock Faber range [8.5m AAV]" - Frank Seravalli
According to several experts, Lane Hutson's value would be quite similar to that of Noah Dobson, the new defenseman of the Tricolore, who earns an annual sum of $9,500,000.
Opinions are quite mixed regarding number 48, as some even claim he deserves to receive an amount lower than Dobson, who was recently ranked 15th among the best defensemen in the league by the NHL.
For now, Hutson does not appear on this ranking, but he should quickly climb the ladder soon.
Other hockey fans believe that the 21-year-old blueliner already deserves a salary higher than Noah Dobson.
With his talent, it's clear that he could surpass the 75-point mark next season, after recording 66 points in his rookie year.
We hope the two sides can come to an agreement quickly and that Lane Hutson will be in Montreal for a very long time!
