Lane Hutson is undoubtedly one of the most promising young talents in the world CHHis offensive skills and vision are among the elite of NHL defensemen. Last June, he was even ranked fourth in the “50 Best Offensive-Defensive Prospects in the National Hockey League (NHL) for Your Pools” Dobber Sports Networkwhich underlines the recognition of his qualities at the league level and not only within the Habs. In Montreal, he is considered a future power play quarterback and an indispensable part of the Canadiens’ crossing guards for the coming years.

However, to start the year in Montreal rather than Laval, Lane Hutson will need to complete an exceptional camp. In fact, joining the Montreal team would likely mean having one of the current defensemen on waivers, so management will need to have a compelling reason to risk losing a hockey player to keep Hutson with the big club.

According to his report XPK Subban seems convinced that Lane Hutson deserves a position with the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge, as evidenced by his enthusiasm for the American. In a short video he shared, we see the Boston University Terriers product executing some great maneuvers and deceiving his opponents (and teammates) with impressive feints. The former number 76 took the opportunity to send a message to the Montreal Canadiens, encouraging them to let Lane Hutson work his magic in the Bettman Circuit.

Hutson could well put on a show comparable to that of Subban during his time in the metropolis. Like Lane Hutson in his only game at the Bell Centre last April, PK wowed the crowd while wearing the Sainte-Flanelle colours.

It remains to be seen whether fans will be able to witness his exploits in Montreal right at the start of the season or if we will have to wait a bit longer before we can enjoy them.
