Insider Frank Seravalli, who is usually extremely well-connected in the NHL, just made a strange statement regarding Lane Hutson and the Montreal Canadiens.
This declaration from Seravalli leaves me perplexed, as it goes against everything we've been hearing about young Hutson.
See the statement in question.
Frank Seravalli: "The Canadiens are more than willing to step up and write a cheque for Lane Hutson to be a Canadien for a long long time; I just don't know what the Hutson appetite is on that end" - Bleacher Report
To see one of the NHL's top insiders question Hutson's interest in signing long-term in Montreal is quite something.
It's up to you to form your own opinion on this statement, but personally, I continue to believe that Lane Hutson loves Montreal and wants to sign here long-term.
A statement from Frank Seravalli that sparks buzz about Lane Hutson
It's important to remember that Hutson has always openly stated and repeated that he loves playing here.
If I had to make a prediction, I'd still say the young defenseman will sign a long-term contract with the Canadiens' organization, but I must admit this statement leaves me quite perplexed and confused.
At this point, let's just hope this matter gets resolved as quickly as possible.
Last season, the 21-year-old defenseman recorded 66 points in 82 regular season games, along with 5 points in 5 NHL playoff games.
Lane Hutson is becoming one of the best defensemen in the world, and we are truly lucky to have him here in Montreal.
