The Montreal Canadiens have gotten some major moves completed in the past few days. First, they locked in defencemen Lane Hutson to an eight-year, $70.8 million contract extension. Shortly after, the Canadiens gave general manager Kent Hughes and executive vice president of hockey operations Jeff Gorton five-year contract extensions. The team looks ready to become playoff contenders for the foreseeable future, considering the young stars they have under contract.
