As we reported a few days ago, young Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson made a request to Kent Hughes.
It's rare to see this, but Hutson isn't playing any behind-the-scenes "games."
He wants to stay in Montreal for as long as possible. He wants to sign a very long contract extension with the Canadiens this summer, and he stated this very publicly during his press conference on Friday.
Hutson surprised many by stating his intentions so clearly.
