Dreger doesn’t expect the Montreal Canadiens and Lane Hutson to get a deal done anytime soon
TSN: Darren Dreger on Montreal Canadiens Lane Hutson’s contract extension situation. There’s a lot of emotion in it and it makes sense to put things on hold for now.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Dreger: “And in the meantime, they have that contract extension for Lane Hudson, which unlike (Jack) Eichel and (Kyle) Connor and Connor McDavid, I wouldn’t expect to be done anytime soon.”
Jeff O’Neill: “Why is that Dregs? That should be a layup, right, after what’s happened the last few days? Isn’t that contract a layup for those guys to get him done?”
Dreger: “Well, I mean, what’s that layout? Eight times 10 (O’Neill)? Because Noah Dobson is nine and a half, right?”
NHL Rumors: Wild, Kempe, Tuch and Necas
O’Neill: “Yes. Well, that’s what he wants on paper, and that’s what you need to put on paper.”
Dreger: “Yes. Frankly, I think it’s been well and fairly reported. There’s a lot of emotion in those negotiations. You know, the family is deeply involved. And I think both sides have wisely said, ‘Okay, let’s put it on hold for now.’ Right?
Quartexx represents that Lane Hudson has come in with a team approach. It’s not just one agent. You know, Darren Farris oversees it. Ryan Barnes is involved. There may be a meeting with Ken Hughes, the GM, in Detroit on Thursday. So (Thursday) in Detroit. You didn’t officially make it that way. But it’s a bit of a spicy meatball at this point, as far as the overall look of this thing. That’s why I think they need to calm down.”
