danjr Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thanks for the insights and opinions. I learned a bit. Would be nice if he does re-sign at a lower price and has another really good off season training. Bringing more improvements to camp like last year. Who knows maybe one year he will truly be a decent d-man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 He's not worth what he'd get in arbitration and he's not so talented that he's not replaceable Nice guy though 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VforVasili Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 We need defensive depth. Sign him to a reasonable contract and let him fulfill a 5-6 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton therefore becomes UFA, which allows Hutton to talk to other teams. However, I think he'll make every opportunity to re-sign with the Canucks. After all, Virtanen is one of his best friends here and I'm sure Hutton understands that he doesn't deserve an unjustified raise to 3-4 Mill. He can either go to another team or he can re-sign with the Canucks for a fairer price. Yeah, that makes sense, thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 This is how I see our defense right now ranked (level of defenseman in parentheses): Edler (2) Tanev (3) Stecher (4) Hughes (2-5) Hutton (4-5) Biega (6-8) Sautner (7-8) Rafferty (7-8) Teves (8) Brisebois (8) Basically, no top level defensemen and a plethora of bottom level defensemen. If we don't re-sign Hutton (for a reasonable deal, of course), we'll need some help on the bottom pairing, as I'm not sure Biega is fit for a permanent role, despite his dramatic offensive improvement last year. Of course, a big signing of a top 4 guy will push several guys down, so at that point, Hutton would be our No. 6, which is pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he's gone, he's gone. It sounds like Benning is busy looking for at least 2 Ds. He's also been talking to Tryamkin's people and he seems confident Nikita will be back at some point. Is it possible that Tryamkin could be in a Canucks uniform this fall? Maybe Juolevi's recovery is going well and they expect him to make the team later in the year? Tanev could also be traded, so the D could look very different next season. Edler - UFA Tryamkin* - Hughes UFA - Stecher Juolevi I'm quite sure Benning earlier said that Tryamkin will not be returning this fall. The soonest we could see him is next year. I think Stecher is penciled in on the 2nd pairing with Hughes for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we add a free agent D we can't afford 2 overpaid players. I personally feel his personality has been of the problem. He feels threatened by Quinn anyways. Instead of embracing a new teammate he's worried about his positional standing on the team. The focus should be on the group. Stecher wants more ice time I'm sure but he acts more mature about it and puts the team first because he wants to play here. I respect stechs play and decision making. He's a good player and a good guy. Why not get rid of him last season? He had a good season, D men have value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliboy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I remember them trying to trade him at some point, there were no takers. From last year, but they did try: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2790675-nhl-rumors-latest-buzz-on-brady-tkachuk-possible-ben-hutton-trade-and-more Edited June 26, 2019 by aliboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another example of how many Canuck fans overrate their players. Benning should do this, Benning should do that. JB has few options to trade and not many options to make trades with outside the core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
