Last week's bad news is gradually fading, giving way to optimism regarding the young star defenseman's next contract.
There are even concrete discussions currently taking place!
"Sources indicate the Canadiens and Hutson's camp are in continual contract discussions.

As a reminder, Lane Hutson became eligible to sign a contract extension on July 1st, and many expected it to happen on that exact day.
That said, despite the wait, both sides remain positive about reaching an agreement.
Last season, the 21-year-old defenseman tallied 66 points in 82 regular season games, as well as 5 points in 5 NHL playoff games.
Unless he signs an extension before then, Hutson will be a restricted free agent (RFA) next July.
Details to follow.
