Please explain. We got a great 3rd pairing D in Benn who is more physical and just as good as hutton for cheaper. ....and how did JB mess up? Benning did his job. He had a great off season imo.

I don't think that will be happening, but you never know. I think someone will sign him for about $3M x 2 or 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone will sign him for about $3M x 2 or 3 years. I think that sailed a long time ago. Hutton is almost guaranteed to sign a 1 year show me deal at this point. I'd even say the chances of Hutton getting a PTO are greater than him getting a multi year deal. There's just too many teams that are up against the cap. If I were to guess, I'd say he signs a 1 year deal for $2M. That would be a good value contract for whatever team signs it. But I just don't see any team offering him more than what Jordie Benn signed for. He's a 6/7 on a good team. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn took a discount to come home and brings an element our D lacked. He will be a fan favourite. Hutton's perfectly serviceable, a great guy off the ice, but there simply wasn't room for him in our top 6, especially with OJ knocking on the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying Benn over Hutton was a mistake or am I misinterpreting you? There's no way Hutton would have signed for $2M (Benn money) or $1.5M (as you suggested) on July 1. I don't think anyone predicted that Hutton would be without a contract 2 weeks out of training camp. Clearly most people (not Benning) misread the market. Hutton could sign for league minimum at this point and it still would have been the right decision to walk away. Best of luck to Ben though. He'll find a landing spot soon enough.

I am saying Benning didn’t mess up. Paying $4 million for Hutton (what he would have likely gotten in arbitration) would have been dumb. They apparently tried to get him to sign for a reasonable deal and it didn’t fly. Hutton’s camp miscalculated his value on the market and may end up with most of their dance partners having moved on and spent their cap. Only bargain hunter, short term deals are almost certainly what he is left with. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy looks like he likes to keep things light. You'd think Roussel's gotta take the cake though. Definitely a more serious tone with this team now.

oldnews Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Ben Kuzma: How effective could a Hutton-Stecher tandem be next season? Quote Jim Benning has promised aggressiveness to address roster weaknesses. That’s what you expect to hear from a Vancouver Canucks’ general manager who has a year remaining his contract and is facing two pressing problems. He needs to acquire both a top-six right-winger and top-four defenceman if the franchise is going to take the next competitive step to help ensure job security. The Canucks can’t go the free-agent route to fill both needs because they had just US $8.4 million in available salary-cap space at the end of their season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
