Rangers obvs mad about DeAngelo liking that tweet.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Claesson is infinitely better than Hutton, WTF.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

How

Unless he’s getting like 800k how do we fit him in?

I also don’t like the idea of Skjei/Staal/Hutton as our LD. We have three guys who could potentially win that final spot, the chances that none of them do are extremely low. Unless we’re benching Staal, Hutton makes no sense to me.

I just don’t see how or why this happens.

Claesson's QO was 715k, we didn't offer one.

 

[Mugless]

Gee, you think Hutton's agent is the source for that tweet?

Claesson's QO was 715k, we didn't offer one.

And they could still get him for that number, I'm sure.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Pass

 

[egelband]

Maybe for Hartford, non?

 

[NYR Viper]

Look and feels like Matt Hunwick

 

[Raspewtin]

Hutton is f***ing garbage

 

[Leetch3]

we don't have the cap space right now for a move like this...but if you are adding a depth dman I think you should be looking for a RD as insurance if fox starts in the AHL. right now smith would be that guy. adding another LD makes little sense to me

 

[cwede]

... if you are adding a depth dman I think you should be looking for a RD as insurance ...

I'd consider Lernout for this suggested depth RHD, occasional McQuaid stay-at-home and muscle if they have a short-term hole to fill

or as above, Freddie Clae return would be less cost/risk than Hutton

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

I just like that is name is like Benjamin Button.

Lernout was signed by Vegas on July 1, but I agree that he would've been a decent depth RHD target. I think they're currently ok as is with depth for HFD considering they have Loverde, Raddysh, Keane, and I'm sure will have no problem either moving a LD to RD (like Bigras last year) or finding an interchangeable ECHL/AHL piece.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

No need or cap space for this move.

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Dude let the kids play, in the limited spots we have.

 

[CasusBelli]

He was good for me in EHM. In real life? Pass.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

If they are actually interested in him, this feels like a “hey, here’s $800k-1m to come hangout and maybe play 20-40 games this year as the #7” thing

 

[Thirty One]

I signed him to a one year deal and traded him for a 1st round pick at the deadline. I'd be game for that.

 

[Carlos Ranger]

Hutton is ****ing garbage

No he's not. He's a perfectly serviceable bottom pairing guy. The problem is that he was playing 25-30 minutes a night in Vancouver, way over his head, but that wasn't his fault.

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Holy shit he's that old? Holy shit, I'm that old?

Holy shit, how do I get into an EHM league? Miss me those.

 

[Harbour Dog]

This doesn't seem realistic. I'm calling horseshit.

 

[offdacrossbar]

hutton ?

i mean why ?

hes not better than anyone else we could roll out there.

hajek and rykov should get their kick at the can.

 

[Leetch3]

well to be fair we wouldn't be signing him to play
