Insider is scared Lane Hutson won't sign with the Montreal Canadiens

Lane Hutson is a prospect who's causing quite a stir lately. And Dany Dubé just made a worrying statement.

While many think he could be an offensive pillar on the Canadiens' blue line, others believe his small stature will be a detriment and that he won't be able to perform as many hope.

Nevertheless, everyone is currently following his journey in the NCAA playoffs, hoping he will join the big club upon his elimination. To do this, he would need to sign an entry-level contract with the Canadiens, eliminating any possibility of returning to the NCAA for the upcoming seasons.

Insider is scared Lane Hutson won't sign with Montreal: Worrying statement from Dany Dubé raises questions regarding his future in Montreal

A closed case, you think? Not according to CH game analyst at 98.5FM Dany Dubé. It seems the young defenseman could very well finish his college career and then choose his NHL destination.


While he's not allowed to negotiate with the Hutson camp until Lane has finished his season, Kent Hughes still has time to prepare to convince his young prospect. Boston University, where the young defenseman plays, is among the favorites to win the NCAA spring tournament.

An argument that could convince the young man's camp is that playing in the NHL this year could shorten his contract by a year. He could thus negotiate his second contract in two years, instead of 5, if he stays at the University with the aim of becoming a free agent.

This will be a case to follow over the next few weeks...
