Many experts have mentioned that the Tricolore hit a home run by drafting Lane Hutson last year. The American defenseman, who was selected 62nd overall, exploded with Boston University this season. In his rookie year in the NCAA, Hutson scored an impressive 15 goals and 33 assists in just 39 games and was also nominated for the Hobey Baker Trophy. These outstanding stats notably eclipsed those of Cale Makar, Adam Fox and Quinn Hughes in their first season in the college ranks. While the defenseman is a fan favorite, Sportsnet's Eric Engels mentioned that he is not an untouchable with the Tricolore and could be traded this summer if the Habs receive an attractive offer for his services. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DLCoulisses/status/1649219201431732227?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1649219201431732227%7Ctwgr%5E1754e8298ceb3e8f83c9c867820f68141c12f792%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rumeursdetransaction.com%2FLe-Canadien-ne-fermerait-pas-la-porte-a-echanger-un-de-leurs-meilleurs-espoirs-230155'> </a></blockquote></div> Lane Hutson has a great skating stroke and his ability to support the offense makes him a unique player. While it's hard to project how he'll fit in the NHL, the Habs can't afford to trade a player with so much potential, who could become the power play quarterback for many seasons to come. It would be a huge mistake to trade the defenseman before he has even played a single game in the NHL.
