The Kent Hughes magic continues! This morning it was announced Lane Hutson has signed an 8 year 70.8 million dollar deal at a cap hit of 8.85 per season. This is obviously an amazing deal as it keeps the Canadiens cap under control and, in my opinion, is already a bargain. Hutson could have made up to 10-11 million next summer so he's leaving some money on the table.
I love the Habs cap culture which started with the Suzuki deal, and it seems to have permeated to all players in the lineup. This is how you build a Stanley Cup winning team.
