Canadiens have opportunity to draft Lane Hutson's younger brother

Already possessing one of the deepest prospect pools in the league, the Montreal Canadiens have the chance to add a familiar name to their roster at the upcoming NHL draft. Cole Hutson, brother of Canadiens defenceman Lane Hutson, is projected to be a second-round selection at the 2024 Draft. Hutson is leading all defencemen in scoring at the U18s with eight points (two goals, six assists) in four games. Before that, the offensive-minded player netted three goals and 12 points over 19 games with the US National Development Team in 2023-24.
