Cole Caufield Hutson, Lane’s little brother, is a defenseman in a lot the identical mould as his huge brother. The left-handed defenseman is eligible for the subsequent draft, and he’s hoping he gained’t have to attend so long as his brother to get drafted.
That’s what TVA Sports’ Nicolas Cloutier tells us from his dialog with Cole Hutson.
