@jkamckenzie I think Jordan Harris and Jayden Struble also paired together for the Habs in 2023/2024! Also the Jones brothers in Chicago and I think Nurse & Caleb Jones paired together a bit in Edmonton
@ivandemigoal@hutson2demigod They won and nothing will change that, but we can also recognize that they won because of three things: insane goaltending, help from their striped friends, and Canada missing several chances. Objectively, they did not win because they were the better team, which is a shame
@ChnRstrntKng@JBNYYankeesfan@NHLlnsider67 For you and I as fans, sure your point is valid. Contract negotiations between an agent and a GM are a different beast entirely. You're also forgetting RFA vs UFA years. But yes, we're very lucky that Lane went straight to Kent to push for things to get done with that term and $.
@ChnRstrntKng@JBNYYankeesfan@NHLlnsider67 That said, obviously it sucked to give up Heineman, guy's a great player and every contending team needs someone like him. But the Habs had a much more pressing need at RHD and an opportunity to fill it while still nabbing Bolduc to fit a similar role on the wing.
@ChnRstrntKng@JBNYYankeesfan@NHLlnsider67 You saying that makes it pretty clear that you don't in fact know puck. Hutson's contract buys mostly RFA years which are obviously cheaper. Not to mention the fact that Hutson's deal was signed after 1 year of play, so his camp had less leverage to demand a higher AAV.
The Canadiens have agreed to terms on an eight-year contract extension (2026-27 to 2033-34) with defenseman Lane Hutson.

@MikeBartner@_JordanDecker I hear what you're saying, but "apparently" is the operative word here. So much of this situation seems to be shrouded in speculation that I don't think it's fair to place blame squarely on one side or the other. At the end of the day, it sounds like it just wasn't a fit anymore
The Canadiens have agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract (2024-25 to 2026-27) with forward Ivan Demidov.
