Much has been written about Lane Hutson in recent days. We know that Habs management and his agent have been talking, and that the team has made offers. The October 7 deadline for a deferred-money contract has passed. Elliotte Friedman mentioned that the two sides needed an emotional break before eventually sitting down again. But how long should this break last? Not too long, believes Tiger Michel Bergeron. He spoke to JiC about it today, and

“I don't like it that much, because it obviously annoys the kid and the organization.” – Michel Bergeron

He added that he believes it could eventually become a distraction, and that his family members are going to know about certain things. I don't think it can be a distraction for the team and for him. First of all, there's still a year left on his contract with the team. It's a far cry from Connor McDavid's situation with the Oilers, let's say. That's why we need to take a deep breath, as Friedman suggests. There's no hurry and we mustn't let this become a distraction for the team. The contract will be signed in due course. Hutson loves playing in Montreal, he loves the team and the core. I think he's going to leave some money on the table, but not as much as people think. spacer title='Overtime'] – Interesting to watch.

– What a game in New York.

– Beautiful goal.

– To be continued.
