Lane Hutson wants his mother back in Montreal next year

As you probably know, Lane Hutson has won the Calder.

So, officially, hes the best rookie player of the 2024-2025 season.

The voting wasnt particularly close and those who have seen him play will understand why.

The Habs now have their first Calder recipient since Ken Dryden, who had a few words to say about the American defensemans achievement.

Being a humble guy, he didnt hesitate to give credit back to his family and loved ones.

Without them (and many other people, including the staff in Montreal), he wouldnt be where he is today.

For example, the fact that his mother was the one he was living with in Montreal this season was a big help.

And in front of the media, he wasnt afraid to say that he didnt want the recipe to change: his mother is invited to spend the next hockey season at his place in Montreal again.

And what about Ivan Demidov? What else do I remember? Lane Hutson was in a Boston arena when he spoke to the media.

Hes at an event to try on hockey stock and clearly, he never stops thinking about hockey.

Good for him.

He also reiterated that he sees himself as a long-term player with the Canadiens, to no ones surprise.

But we dont know if hes negotiating right now.

Lane Hutson thanks fans for the support he received from the fans and the energy they gave him and the team.

Sees himself staying with the Canadiens long-term and believes there is something special brewing in Montreal.

Marco DAmico (@mndamico) June 10, 2025 extension Reminder: in 2026 and 2027, Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov will not be eligible for hostile offer sheets.

This is due to being 10.2(c) RFAs in the NHLs CBA, as having played less than three professional seasons before their entry-level contracts expire.

A professional season is defined by the CBA as playing a minimum of 10 games (AHL/NHL, in-season + playoffs).
