4 Defensemen to watch at Montreal Canadiens Rookie Camp
Montreal's defense depth will be on full-display at rookie camp.
By Nate Duffett
Lane Hutson
The one player who could benefit from the Patrik Laine trade the most is Lane Hutson. He has a good opportunity to claim the open spot left behind by Jordan Harris' departure. It's hard to see where Hutson would fit with Mike Matheson owning the first powerplay role, but Hutson's two assists in two games last season showed he wouldn't be out of place in the NHL.
This training camp will be a good chance to show Pierre McGuire that his Hutson claims this offseason are untrue, and it'll start with those two games against the Maple Leafs rookies next weekend.
