My first Stu’s Slapshots notebook of the season, including a look at Lane Hutson’s contract situation, Habs being youngest team in NHL, Arber Xhekaj’s new diet and Noah Dobson adjusting to life in Montreal:

Stu's Slapshots: Paying Canadiens' Lane Hutson less than $10 million makes sense

No team with a player making more than $10 million a year has ever won the Stanley Cup, but that will likely change with the rising salary cap.

Joe Fixit is in Madripoor on a job: he's looking for a man and was told an individual named Patch has the information he needs to find him.

Patch knows Joe is The Hulk and decides to have fun with him.

Patch gives Joe torn purple pants then gets him in trouble with sex traders and drug suppliers.

Patch and Mr. Fixit pose next to each other in white cool white dinner jackets and bow ties. Patch, who is the incredibly unrecognizable thought to be dead Wolverine, glaces at Joe with his adamantium claws drawn and Joe side eyes Patch with suspicion.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.
