Lane Hutson has not been invited to the U.S. Olympic orientation camp. As you already know, there’s been a lot of talk about this in recent weeks,but what we’ve learned since then is that the news hasn’t exactly made those around him very happy. And that makes sense: even if Quinn Hughes does exist, not inviting Hutson is… peculiar. and tonight, on an episode of his Recrutes HabsCast, Grant McCagg shared an interview with Lane’s father, Rob Hutson. Andin the following excerpt, which lasts a few minutes, you can feel Rob’s heart sinking… and he even goes so far as to mention something very interesting:

Yes, Lane could decide to represent Canada one day.

This is something that the boys’ father explains during the podcast… and it’s interesting in the current context.Because we sense that the father feels he hasn’t been treated with dignity by USA Hockey, an organization in which he and his family have been involved for a long, long time.And of course, you might think that the Habs defenseman would have a better chance of playing for Canada than for the United States. After all, there’s a feeling south of the border that Quinn Hughes and Lane Hutson aren’t wanted on the same squad… infact, Cale Makar is already the offensive superstar at the blue line… but he’s bigger than Hughes is. There‘s more of a way for Makar and Hutson to coexist, let’s say.So we’ll be keeping a close eye on all this over the next few years, but we agree it would be quite a turnaround.
