Ok so why are we wasting contract spots and money on a guy who is not even good enough to be an AHL backup here?

At least ship them a contract... This is the third time this year.

 

[SprDaVE]

I don't understand this one. Hutton is awful.

 

[Stephen]

Mrazek on his way out perhaps?

this is just a 3rd goalie, really.

in case they need a third. just insurance. the price of "nothing we'll figure out later" basically says it all.

 

[Apex Predator]

I don’t understand this move.

 

[BeLeafing]

Hutton is like, very bad

But he is AHL depth for no cost so oh well

Weird.
Cuz they already have 3 third goalies. Ha.

We have Hutchinson, Kallgren, and Woll (when he is healthy). Hutch and Kallgren are healthy.

He is literally the 4th goalie on the depth chart for the Marlies, and that is without Woll and Scott. With them, he is the 6th goalie, and 7th on the Leafs (Petruzzelli is on an AHL deal, but I would rather sign him to an ELC than make this trade).

You know our goaltending has been trash when they get a 36 year old with a .741% this season.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Hutchinson Woll Kallgren. Is he going to backup in the ECHL?

 

[AngryScotsman]

Head scratcher... But dominoes perhaps.

Yea except he's not a good one. You might as well play Hutch at that point. Kallgren is better than both.

At least get a guy with good underlying NHL numbers.

[Man Bear Pig]

Weird trade. Not sure why we'd need to go 5 or 6 deep with goaltending. Is there another move in the works? Even then, Hutton does nothing.

 

[Metroid]

Why not just include him in the first trade?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Smart of the Leafs to wait for Arizona to waive him first before acquiring him. Lord knows if they tried to waive him after the trade someone would’ve claimed him just to spite us.

 

[phillipmike]

Just cleared waivers. Just AHL depth.

 

[Cor]

This seems really weird lol.

doesn’t hurt us at all. We have a ton of roster spots.

Im just not sure what the need was unless we are about to do another deal that sends out Woll/Kallgren/Hutchinson

 

[Mugzy97]

I mean, the last time he played for a franchise that wasn’t a joke, he was really good.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Something is amiss here. Let's see what wizardry is coming, or, if Dubas has simply had a few too many shots of Russian vodka.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Past Considerations would have been a fun way to report it given they just made a trade.

 

[Smif]

Why not just include him in the first trade?

Maybe because Dzingel didn't clear? Something around that?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Why not just include him in the first trade?

Maybe ARI was waiting for him to clear and then he was to be included as another salary dump.

 

[Fogelhund]

Backup for Growlers? Someone asked for him in our next trade? Someone asked for one of our depth guys in our next trade?
