A big, big extension\u2026 this one goes to Lane Hutson, the Calder Trophy winner has an eight-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens at an $8.85 million AAV, and I\u2019ll be honest, Hutts, this is pretty surprising to me. The fact that Kent Hughes and Co. got this thing done for $8.85, I give them a lot of kudos. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Carter Hutton: Yeah, this is good. Everybody was trying to forecast this deal and where the numbers were going to be. This is a good deal for him, he still gets in on that eight-year term. $8.85 is still a ton of money. As I look at this team, and look at them being the youngest team in the NHL right now\u2026 they have a young squad and their guys are locked up. Caufield, 2031. Suzuki, 2030. Slafkovsky, 2033. Dobson, 2033. Guhle 2031, and now Hutson, 2034. So those are six key guys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">You can watch the full segment and the rest of the episode here\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The trend of massive contract extensions rolled on Monday as the Montreal Canadiens announced that the team has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-210779","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
