What could Lane Hutson look at on a contract extension with the Montreal Canadiens?
Marco d’Amico of rg.org: Montreal Canadiens Defenseman Lane Hutson is eligible for a contract extension. Noah Dobson signed an eight-year-old deal with a cap of $ 9.5 million with the Canadiens, and many think it is a one-on-one comparable, but that may not be the case. A source:
“Dobson is at another point in his career than Hutson, not to say that one is better than the other. But in the world of contracts RFA years are considerably less worthy than UFA years, and teams should generally make more money for those years when a player could have tested a free agency.”
Dobson was a year away from a UFA. Hutson comes from his entry-level deal with less leverage, with five years of RFA-considering remaining and no arbitration feet yet. De Source places Hutson comparisons …
NHL rumors: So what about those Jason Robertson rumors?
“His similar contract would not be Dobson in this case; it would look more like (Jake) Sanderson or (Brock) Faber or (Quinn) Hughes, who has signed long -term agreements as 10.2 (C) RFAs. It is about comparing apples with apples here, although I think Hutson Elite could be.”
Sanderson signed an eight-year-old deal for a cap hit of $ 8.05 million (9.2% of the PET) and Brock Faber in eight years at $ 8.5 million per (8.9% of the cap). A 9% to 9.5% of the limit would place a deal of six to eight years in the cap hit from $ 8.8 to $ 9.5 million.
The RFA market is going through a bit of a reset, because TOP RFAs sign for less term and a little less money – see Matthew Breies and Wyatt Johnson. The Hutson camp will keep an eye on the New Jersey Devils, and Luke Hughes will eventually agree.
