In the past few hours, defenseman Lane Hutson has indeed spoken about the big acquisition made by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens this summer.
Let's recall that at the very start of the offseason, the Habs acquired elite defenseman Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders in exchange for two first-round picks and forward Emil Heineman.
Several weeks after this major transaction, Lane Hutson commented-and let's just say he truly applauded the work of his general manager.

As reported by Benoît Rioux, notably on the TVA Sports website, Hutson made a few statements regarding the acquisition of Dobson (who could very well become his new defense partner).
"It's an exciting addition for our team and we're very happy to have him." - Lane Hutson, on Noah Dobson
What did Hutson notice from his first sessions with Dobson, live from Brossard?
"He has an excellent shot." - Lane Hutson, on Noah Dobson
Does Lane believe Dobson could be used on the first power-play unit?
"I don't think we're lacking weapons for both units," said Hutson.
"We're lucky.
There are no bad options."
"We're lucky.
There are no bad options."
Well said!
We can't wait to see how Martin St-Louis will choose to deploy Dobson, but everything indicates that he'll have a major role on the team-not only at 5-on-5 but also on the power play.
Exciting times ahead!
