TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie has indeed provided an important clarification - one that likely made the difference for Lane Hutson.
Let's recall that in the last few minutes, Hutson signed a new eight-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens!
It's indeed not all!
As revealed by Renaud Lavoie, $55 million in signing bonuses are included in Lane Hutson's contract:
"$55M of signing bonuses included in the $70.8M contract that Lane Hutson agreed to over 8 seasons."

This aligns with what the Hutson camp absolutely wanted:
"Hutson's camp wanted more of a front-loaded deal and the very high percentage of signing bonuses vs salary significantly brings down the tax impact for him.
More money after taxes and fees than the Hughes and LaCombe deals."
