What is Lane Hutson worth to the Canadiens?



After turning heads last year, Lane Hutson enters the final season of his entry-level contract with the Canadiens. What is the 2025 rookie of the year worth to Montreal, and what is a fair deal? TSN Hockey’s Martin Biron and Frankie Corrado share their thoughts.

  1. upon further review it was discovered that lane wanted to a do an 8-year deal for a bit less than noah this summer.

    MTL decided no, and that’s their right and prerogative. they decided they need to see more.

    what threw a wrench into all this was the hughes (NJD) extension.

    what's deeply troubling is that hughes had 20 less points in his secind sesson than hutson had in his rookie season.

    with good health and handling his business on the ice, lane if he wants to be bad to the bone, shouldn't even answer the phone if the canadians call and offer $10m AAV.

    hughes hss nailed it on his deals with slakovsky, caufield, suzuki and jake evans.

    hopefully cooler heads prevail and hutson gets taken care of at a fair price. at the same time, montreal is going to have to pony up more than they maybe anticipated.

  2. Hutson has played a single season. Prove that it wasn't a fluke, then we'll talk. Even then, he's an RFA when his current deal is done, he doesn't have a ton of negotiating power… Yet.

  3. Let him play
    Another season
    If you think they won't be watching tape
    I'd wait, what if he gets body checked and misses 20 games
    I have no respect for Biron he is as much a clown as Craig Button
