The latest NHL rumblings bring significant developments regarding Lane Hutson’s ongoing contract negotiations, the Philadelphia Flyers’ interest in Bowen Byram, and the Winnipeg Jets’ plans for an Adam Lowry extension.

Hutson’s Negotiation Update

Lane Hutson’s contract talks with the Montreal Canadiens are veering towards a more private setting. Reports have suggested the discussions focus on an eight-year deal, with Hutson aiming for around $9 million. Although there have been offers containing deferred money and Retirement Compensation Arrangements, Hutson has shown no interest in those options.

Impact of Privacy on Negotiations

Reported by Elliotte Friedman, both sides are now seeking privacy to ease the emotional strain of public negotiations. The expectations remain high for a long-term deal, despite Hutson’s disappointment over its delay before the season started.

Byram Joins Flyers – Latest Rumors

The Philadelphia Flyers are keen on acquiring defenseman Bowen Byram, despite his recent re-signing with the Buffalo Sabres on a two-year contract. Sources indicate the Flyers were previously hesitant due to Byram’s cost, but they are now seeking impactful players for their lineup rather than depth options.

Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff highlights the Flyers’ past interest in Byram.
Potential trade candidates include Owen Tippett and Emil Andrae.
Byram’s rookie performance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Colorado Avalanche is a key attraction.

Jets Looking at Lowry Extension

With Kyle Connor’s contract secured, the Winnipeg Jets shift their focus to extending captain Adam Lowry’s stay. Even though Lowry is currently recovering from hip surgery, his value to the team remains unquestionable.

The Importance of Lowry

TSN’s Darren Dreger points out Lowry’s strong leadership and middle-six center role, contributing 35 points and significant physicality. Preliminary talks have taken place, with official negotiations expected to begin soon. Lowry, entering his final contract year, is paramount to the Jets’ future plans.
