He really seemed to embrace being a professional athlete, not just a hockey player last year. It would be great if the Canucks could get him back at a reasonably good number.

Devron Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Almost like losing a brother. Kid played his heart out this year no doubt. I mean sometimes players have to move on but certain ones it’s kinda odd seeing them on another team. Hutton’s one for me, hope he finds a spot on in the NHL and continues to prove himself 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move by JB I strongly disagree he gets anything in the 2's. Low 1's and not necessarily from Van. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be really surprised if he winds up down that low, but I've been surprised before, so not going to completely disagree with you. Weird things happen when cap is constrained like it is this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was going to get a contract for 2+ he would've already signed imho. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're tight for cap though and I don't know how that would work. I have them pegged for a top 10 pick this year and at that point I think they consider trading McDavid. I don't see how they can turn it around without blowing it up. What a dump. We crap on Edmonton but you have to feel for their fans. They have had the worst management since NYI and Mike Milbury.

GhostsOf1994 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Lol Mcdavid traded?! Draisatl,RNH, Klefbom and Larson would be traded first. 4 minutes ago, VIC_CITY said: Why not?

Arbitration would have given him over + $4mil. I thought Hutton had a decent season last year and closed strong with a lot of top pairing TOI. One can argue where he would fit on a CUP contender and I would suggest as 3LD. I like his size and skating. He has shown more offensive upside than Stecher although Stecher might peak out higher. Both are 3rd pairing d-men right now. The dif being is size and thusly the ability to defend in heavy games. Hutton is superior. i was surprised that Benning was not able to recover some value if Hutton was not in his plans. Highly likely that neither Hutton or Stecher were/are in the long term plans. IMHO the prospect depth will pass them by. That said Stecher never ceases to surprise me with his unsurpassed drive and determination. I also thought he had a decent year last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team trading for him would give up an asset and qualify him at 4mill. Makes zero sense. They could just go sign him for a quarter of that as Ufa right now. Everyone knew Canucks wouldn't qualify him at 4mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
