Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson is quickly becoming one of the NHL’s most talked-about young stars — not just for his incredible talent on the ice, but for the eye-watering contract he’s expected to sign in the coming months. The 20-year-old phenom has been dubbed “every girl’s dream boy,” and while the attention might seem flattering, it’s recently taken a disturbing turn.
Sources close to Hutson have revealed that a woman — a mother of a young female fan — shocked the rising star with a chilling comment directed at his girlfriend, Kylie Roberts. Allegedly, the woman told Hutson that she and her daughter would do “whatever it takes” to remove Roberts from the picture so they could have the defenseman “all to themselves.”
Hutson, known for his calm demeanor and focus, was reportedly caught off guard by the bold statement. Friends say he took the comment seriously, though it’s unclear if legal action will follow. The Canadiens organization has not issued an official response, but insiders suggest security around Hutson and Roberts may be quietly increasing.
Fans are divided — some find the incident disturbing and a sad reflection of the obsessive side of fame, while others brush it off as a misguided joke taken too far. Regardless, the episode casts a shadow over what should be a celebratory time for Hutson, who’s expected to ink a lucrative long-term deal this offseason.
As his star continues to rise, the young defenseman may need to navigate not only the pressures of pro hockey, but also the unexpected intensity of public attention. For now, both Hutson and Roberts are staying silent, choosing to let actions on the ice speak louder than the chaos off it.
