Boudrias Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I do think he needs time in Utica to ground himself on the d-side. His setup on Horvat's goal was pretty impressive along with McCann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His setup on Horvat's goal was pretty impressive along with McCann. He's got a good eye, that's for sure. Does look a bit shaky, but could be this year's Klingberg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised to see him on our roster for the last 20 games of the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The guy is on our team now, no need to be in the minors. He takes contact well along the wall too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Remember when a few people worried that Hutton wouldn't sign with the Canucks? That feels like a long time ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) The guy is on our team now, no need to be in the minors. He takes contact well along the wall too. We have been lacking an offensive D man since Ehrhoff left. He's 22, 6'3" 200 lbs, smart with the puck, and sees the game extremely well. He's an offensive Chris Tanev. Benning has said more than once if any young players come in and deserve to play, he'll make room. Time to make good on that Jim. This kid is already leaps and bounds better than Sbisa. Very impressed. ps. add to that, Gaunce and McCann. Gaunce definitely looks ready. He's a great 2 way guy, and McCann? He's a big upgrade on Vey. Like I said, Jim... whatcha gonna do? Sedins/Burrows Gaunce/Horvat/Vrbata Kennins/Sutter/Hansen Prust/McCann/Dorsett Edler/Tanev Hamhuis/Hutton Corrado/Bartkowski/Weber Get rid of Sbisa. Not sure what the appeal is there. At all. And I hope Markstrom is ready, because Miller sucks. ok so cue the "glad you're not GM" comments.... Plenty of other teams are giving their young talent the reigns and having success with it. Our turn. I don't care if a kids frickin 12 years old, if he outplays Burrows or Sbisa or Miller, bye bye! :D Edited September 27, 2015 by darkpoet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Kid looked primed and ready before his 3 point production. Hope he gets a real chance. (Not a will make room for u if u do well but dont because of existing contracts.) Kid has looked good in everry game ive seen so far this pre season.

ken kaniff Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 let the kid develop in utica. he has been pretty good but he could use some work in his own end. I could see him being called up after the trade deadline when we sell off some players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatedkid666 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Shouldn't rush him. Let him be a call up. Next year he can come up full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHitman Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 But if he's playing better than our own guys... Plus it takes 100-150 games before most NHL defensemen even adjust and start to play their game. Might as well jump the pace while he's on a good contract.

UFCanuck Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 But if he's playing better than our own guys... The Vets typically don't start gearing up until the final preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The Vets typically don't start gearing up until the final preseason games. I hope. We'll have to see how he does in the next 3-4 games, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Easily first call up, but should probably get a couple regular season games in order to see where he's at. If one of our D men go down that is. Gaunce and McCann could also be on this team. I think they might try to play someone to increase their value and then move them to make room for someone. JB said he would, and based on games thus far, he probably should. Vrby got a point, only Vet to do so so far I think lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our turn. I don't care if a kids frickin 12 years old, if he outplays Burrows or Sbisa or Miller, bye bye! :D I disagree about Sbisa, but tgats anotger convo. I agree Hutton has seized his opportunity, however, Utica is the best place for him. He's coming from a league that plays fewer games than most beer leagues......he looks good now, but has no experience with preparing and playing every single day. The place to learn that is not in the NHL. If he goes to Utica, continues to play well and shows he has adjusted to the grind, we'll likely see JB make a move to get him back up with the big club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two drink minimum Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The curious case of Benjamin Hutton has me convinced he should stay on and get a 9 game looksie. He's already better than Sbisa, Weber and Bartkowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
