No time share in St. Louis anymore...

$1.125m AAV

Move to protect our goalies in the expansion draft next summer.

I like it. He looked promising as a backup, and the price is just fine. Better than the option of Nilsson.

Good guy, hope him all the best, and hopefully some more highlight reel saves

 

[Cashville]

Great guy who is a decent backup; wanted to play more and I wish him the best

Good signing! Figured he would be ideal for Edmonton

 

[Woodrow]

Seems like a good move for the Blues. Sign a capable back up with a low AAV and short term.

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't tweet "@PredsNHL Thanks for having me."

For Blues fans who don't get the joke, he would routinely do interviews from the bench and would always finish with "Thanks for having me." It got to be a bit of a running joke. In fact, during the Father's trip this past year, Hutton's dad was interviewed and closed with the same line and the TV crew started cracking up.

Solid backup. Wish Montreal signed him instead of Montoya.

Better than Nilsson, whatever
