They will if a trade isn't forthcoming and I was only objecting to the W word which isn't happening no way no how.
I doubt they send Hutson in the AHL. Hugues has shown to be savvy with how he treat his player and sending Hutson in the AHL would be an even bigger blunder then when we did it with Caufield. Giga turbo Bergevin.
Players with Hutson pedigree are immediate impact player in their D+3, not AHLer.
See what happened with Gauthier and McGroarty. Sending Hutson in the AHL may kill our relationship with our blue chip prospect. The AHL is not as rosy and nice and development doodsy as it is pictured here. Its hard, sad and it sucks.
Harris on waivers has more chance to happen then Hutson in the AHL.
There is no upside in having Hutson in the AHL and the downside can be extreme. (Broken relationship).
There is little upside in holding Harris (improving a late RD pick) and there is not a lot of downside in losing him too. Smallish, unproductive LD bottom pairing LD are dime a dozen.
