Team USA announced 44 invitees to its Olympic Orientation Camp, but Lane Hutson was notably omitted. Hutson, who won the Calder Trophy and set rookie records with Montreal, isn’t on the 2026 roster because the blueline depth is elite and size is a factor at the Olympic level.

Fantasy takeaway: Hutson remains a high-upside dynasty target. The current path to a top-four role for him will take time, likely pushing his Olympic debut to 2028 or 2030. In the meantime, he should be stashed in keeper leagues and monitored for how Montreal maximizes his speed and puck-moving talent as he develops.
