The well-known insider Frank Seravalli recently reported new developments regarding Lane Hutson's next contract.
According to Seravalli, discussions are still ongoing, but the number being floated by the Canadiens is said to be the same as Brock Faber's $8.5 million per year.
It's interesting to see a plugged-in journalist like Seravalli commit to such a concrete figure.
The Montreal Canadiens Are Said to Have Made a Brock Faber-Style Offer to Lane Hutson
Would Hutson actually be interested in signing a Brock Faber-style deal?
That's the question, but one thing is clear: it would be a true home run for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens organization.
Frank Seravalli: Re 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]" - Bleacher Report
Indeed, if Kent Hughes manages to lock down Lane Hutson long-term at $8.5 million per year, it would be incredible.
Hutson, 21, is a 5-foot-9, 162-pound left-shot defenseman who was drafted by the Canadiens in the second round of the 2022 draft.
He recorded 66 points in 82 games last season, his rookie year, while holding a -2 rating.
Faber, 23, is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound right-shot defenseman, a second-round pick by the Los Angeles Kings in 2020.
He posted 29 points in 78 games last season, after recording 47 points in 82 games as a rookie, while establishing himself as one of the best defensive defensemen in the NHL.
Do you think this is a fair comparison for Lane Hutson's contract?
