If there’s one player I can’t wait to see in uniform for a full season, it’s Lane Hutson.
The small defender joined the Canadian last year, but only played two short matches. Along the way, he impressed, collecting two assists.
And if all goes well, he could start the next regular season with the big club. On the other hand, as reported by Arpon Basu, he will not be at the team’s development camp this week. It’s not because he doesn’t want to or can’t, it’s because the team told him to rest.
The 2023-24 season was a big year for him. Between the NCAA (38 games), the NHL (two games) and the World Junior Championship (seven games), he played a lot of hockey.
So he deserves a little break.
At the end of the week, he was in Vegas to celebrate the Canadian’s choices, but also the second pick in the draft of the Washington Capitals.
Indeed, his brother Cole was selected 43rd by the Washington team. That’s 19 spots ahead of Lane in the 2022 draft…
The eldest of the brothers, who had a huge year in 2023-2024, will have another very big one in 2024-2025. He will have the opportunity to rest this week, but he will be in rookie camp afterward.
Note that Ivan Demidov will not be at the camp either due to visa issues. Adam Engstrom, for different reasons, will also not be there.

– Eight-year contract at Sunrise for Sam Reinhart.
– Too bad, Bertuzzi could have been a very good fit with Craig Berube in Toronto.
– To be continued today.
– The risk of hopes.
– It was a great day for the city of Detroit, as the return of Patrick Kane to the Detroit Red Wings was also announced.
