Lane Hutson continues to be one of the most talked-about Montreal Canadiens prospects — but his absence from Team USA’s orientation roster is raising eyebrows. According to an NHL source, Hutson’s snub is partly tied to his role at the World Championship. In this video, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down what this means for Hutson, the Canadiens’ future blue line, and how it could impact his development heading into the 2025 NHL season.
If you’re a Habs fan or follow NHL prospects, you don’t want to miss this deep dive into the Hutson storyline that’s heating up ahead of training camp.

For a supposed smart hockey market why are so many crying about Hutson being “snubbed” over an orientation camp that likely includes very little to no on ice drills for a kid who lives at the rink ?
Some were thinking there could be a Sophomore slump
I don’t think Hutson is going to cry about not getting invited
I think he will only use this as extra drive this season
I wasn’t worried about a sophomore slump and sure as shit ain’t worried about a camp in Summer when there are 3 months of NHL hockey to play before the Olympic rosters are set
With strong play and injuries to current invitees he can be called in one thing is for sure, I think Hutson will come out swinging right out of the gates
Even if he isn’t finally invited, if you are team USA how many offensive D under 6’ do you need
If you have a Quinn Hughes and a Werenski do you really need a Hutson or should you focus on big shut down D’s to balance out the D corps
What very little people are saying is how team USA has such a spoil of riches on Defense that a guy like Hutson may not even be on it
To me today, Hutson is much more important to Habs than to team USA
If he makes this Olympic roster cool, good for him, if not, who cares he’s 21 years old there will be many more opportunities for him to represent his country
With Suzuki, Dobson, Monty, Caufield, Slaf, Laine maybe even Kapanen all possibly going to Olympics how many players do you wish risking injury while not playing on Habs in a year we all want them to improve on last season ?
Hutson is wired different I have never seen a rookie D do what he did in my life, come in and completely change the team dynamic, driving play, getting better as the season goes along, many rookies fall flat in second half and he only got better.
I would prefer Hutson play 82 regular season games this season be close to a point a game, help the team make playoffs over going to Olympics and maybe play maybe sit, maybe risk injury
The IOC is one of the most corrupt organizations in sports yeah I’ll watch best on best hockey but there will be other tournaments hopefully like a World Cup of hockey, more 4-6 Nations to watch, the fact Russia isn’t “allowed” to play in these tournaments is a joke while USA can do no wrong apparently in wars around the world
False pretence WMDS in Iraq = 20 years of an illegal war, millions dead, today funding and arming a disgusting “war” in Middle East which many people are calling a genocide… but that’s all good for the IIHF…
sorry for the geo politics, but I want to see Demidov playing best on best, Russia would put together a solid team and any hockey tournament without Russia should have a big ASS Asterix beside it.
Politics should have no place in sports but if they must than make the rules the same for all counties
As for this podcast it is my #1 go to for Habs talk.
Very few podcasters engage with the viewers replying to comments, I like that you guys thumbs up comments, add your takes or laugh me out of the room 😂
Keep it up, your content is appreciated
camp is near and hopefully much more raw content to discuss over having to break down rumours and fill the dog days of Summer
Shaun and Marco, ever since I stumbled onto your channel…I've enjoyed every episode and there are quite a few channels who piggy back in info from this channel.
I need hockey back.
Love the shirt Marco
A Seth Jones Stanley Cup changes everything…🏁
One thing I agree on with Marco is when he said about Lane Hutson, and I quote "…you basically need to lock the doors to the arena to get him to stop skating." – I predict the Habs to finish 3rd or 4th in the Eastern Atlantic division for the incoming season. They changes that they have made will produce better outcomes this year. INs: Dobes, Dobson, Bolduc, Veleno and Demidov. OUTs: Primdeau, Armia, Savard, Pezzetta
Marco might have lost his italian card for praising butter chicken pizza
It's rare that there's already 86 thumbs up when I hit the like but I'm late to the show today 😌
that won't happen this year.WE are going all the way to the Stanley Cup this year.
Great start to the week gentlemen, thank you 🙏
Marco is a great analyst.
Team Canada better not lose if they don’t select the best players. USA will have a lot to answer for if they struggle offensively
I wouldn't want Lane Hutson get injured so best that he doesn't go to Olympic games!
I won’t miss this show . By far my favourite . Great job guys !
If Zach Bolduc can become a Danault type center, I'm totally happy with this!
Subscribed, I was thinking I did already, but now its done!!
Great show guys, looking forward to watching you at McLean’s together!!
Marco made me very curious about that butter chicken pizza 🍕
As a Habs fan, Jake Sanderson is top tier 👌
Thanks for keeping this going over the summer!! We can’t get enough of Habs content.
Lane will get a needed rest … and destroy one of these gm’s team that snubbed him.. in the playoffs ..it will be so sweet.
It doesn't mean Hutson won't make the team but if he doesn't, Canada gets GOLD and Lane will get even more motivated…
Hope Lane uses this as fuel for the season. Not that he needs it. He is only 21. His time will come.
52:17
Why do you care if Price contract gets moved
Emotional over a paper transaction …?
Price is a Hab for life it won’t matter which team picks up his LTIR he will never play a game for any other team
54:22 yes it will happen and they should retire his jersey or at minimum ring of honour
I don't blame you guys for covering this story because there is nothing to talk about but who really cares.
I'm there! Gonna be fun 🙂
Hutson after only one year in the league is not making that team with one of the greatest defensive rosters in hockey history without major injuries. That D corp is so elite that only Makar from Canada would make that squad…maybe Morrisey. They did him a favour by not wasting his time imo.
Team USA loss is the Habs win. Lane can rest up a bit during the 2 weeks. If he experiences any bumps or bruises at that time….he will refresh.
Always enjoy Shaun's work with Conor on the radio and this show is a great extension of that work. Shaun's talk-show experience alongside Marco's knowledge and connections are going to keep this show not only entertaining but a must-watch for Canadiens fans for as long as they hit record together.
Personally I like that Lane wasn't selected. The break will let him rest and recuperate for a very hard end of season for the habs with many back to backs. This snub will make him that more deadly against the rest of. the NHL. They may realize that you shouldn't poke the beast especially the smaller ones!!! Anyone who knows animals would be worried by a wolverine like Hutson coming their way.
After finding out that Hutson is a 10.c.2 classification, there is no concerns of an offer sheet. However, I think a signing will occur either in September or sometime during the season. Bill Guerin is the GM for Team USA. A "big team" strategy doesn't quite work as well on IIHF ice.
I think its obvious, team USA is better with Lane so if they want to shoot themselves in the foot like they do best let them.
Is team USA run by Leafs management? We lost last year so let's do the exact same thing again.
Hi guys. I love your podcast and watch every day. Gotta ask a question. Is there another team that skates and trains together in the summer in their hockey city like this year's team??? Dobson and Dach were on the ice today at their Brossard practise facitily. Thats great news.. especially Dach.
With Lane Hutson off the team Usa . Canada wins the Gold medal. And Hutson stays fresh for the playoff run . All Montreal players should just rest up . Instead of possibly injury . The NHL has it out for Montreal so lets stay healthy and bring backthe Stanley cup back to Montreal and Canada ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Lets see how Hutson responds with a little chip on his shoulder. Prove them all wrong if you want to represent.
Lane is going to be motivated no doubt. Could he win the Norris? What better way to make a statement than to lead all the defenseman in league scoring? Marco, fear not. As a fan I love the perspective you provide and the inside knowledge. Most fans do appreciate that. Going back in time, the great hab teams of the 50’s 60’s and 70’s had tremendous skill plus toughness. The Rocket, Kenny Reardon, Boutch Bouchard, in the 50’s John Ferguson, Teddy Harris, in the 60’s, Robinson, LaPointe, Chartraw, Lupien, Langway, Bouchard, Trembley in the 70’s Nilan,, Kordic, Mark Hunter, Chelios, Ludwig, in the 80’s .mwe are building a power house / dynasty again and we need guys like Arber Xhekaj to protect our stars. His brother will also play a role. Both are tough but even better skilled. Marty has to do a better job with Arber. Recognise the value of Arber and groom and motivate him to play the game well defensively, but let his lose when Hutson, Demidov, Suzuki, Caufield need him.
