We have a major development live from Chicago involving Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
It's a big scoop from the excellent journalist Jonathan Bernier of the Journal de Montréal, who reports that Kent Hughes was indeed very active (especially on the phone) this morning live from Chicago.

From this, it appears that the Montreal Canadiens could literally announce a contract extension for Lane Hutson today.

Knowing that tomorrow is a "game day," don't be surprised if it's announced and made official today!
Details to follow.
