desiboynux4lifee******* Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Why did they release him? Did it really harm the team that much by keeping him in practices? What the hell! Edited May 18, 2015 by desiboynux4lifee******* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Weird, somebody got some splaining to do. There was no reason to keep him there. We have 9 D still with the team and if it was really necessary, we could always send them Cederholm or Subban if the injury bug really struck. I believe he will be signed to a regular contract by the team and that he will be at camp in September. I don't have any proof of this, just gut feeling that they won't let him walk and are probably working on a regular contract for him. PTO was just a stop gap measure to see how he could perform in a professional league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He has a contract with the Canucks that begins next season. His PTO was strictly with Utica presumably as a favor the the Canucks. I would imagine since it's been 2 months his PTO has expired. Curious as to what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ok JUST to clarify, this does not affect the fact Hutton IS still in fact signed and under contract by the canucks right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ok JUST to clarify, this does not affect the fact Hutton IS still in fact signed and under contract by the canucks right? Yes he was signed by the Canucks, but only on a tryout contract with the comets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes he was signed by the Canucks, but only on a tryout contract with the comets. So he is a UFA now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish elite3 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So he is a UFA now? Try reading other posters comments gives you all the answers you want. Still a canuck just was on a Professional Tryout Contract with the Comets and the COMETS do not have him with the PTO anymore.

VegasCanuck Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Signed for two years by the Canucks. http://www.generalfanager.com/players/1874 Looking forward to seeing how he measures up in Camp. I think he was pretty good on the PTO in Utica. I would expect him to have a full time gig there for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTO's are good for 24 games, regardless of how long it takes to hit that. and a player can be signed to a PTO twice in a single season. he only had 4 games with the comets, so that's not the reason.

avelanch Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Nothing is handed easily to the young prospects in Utica. The number of veterans and the focus on winning ensures that.Promising defenceman Ben Hutton went from the University of Maine to Utica. He played four regular-season games. But he was 10th on their depth chart and was shuttled to Vancouver last week to begin working on his off-season strength and conditioning program.http://www.theprovince.com/sports/hockey/canucks-hockey/Botchford+Jake+Virtanen+popping+evolution/11072805/story.html Edited May 22, 2015 by avelanch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ? Is this guy a forward or D? D who likes to skate and carry the puck, and is an offensively minded, two-way type of defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
