That guy would fill Hutton’s Bottom pair spot, and Hutton would be left without a job. Benn. Jordie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see us signing Hutton to 3 million, when we can fill that spot with Benn for less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duodenum Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 No big surprise, been saying it all year. Stecher showed top 4 ability while Hutton didn't, though he did do better than 2 years ago. His QO is too pricey for a depth guy which is what he is at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I've picked up from this regime, is that when there's a certain level of persistent smoke there's typically fire. Saw that with Eriksson as well as others like Bartkowski. When you have them out at the Blue Water with the owner you know they're serious. It's ultimately up to Myers of course, but I think they are in, up to a reasonable point of course. Not that I believe Shannon is much of a source, but this is in line with how they dealt with Edler. Would think they want to go 5-6 years on him, no more. That already pushes him to 35. Would hope if he demands 7 that they let him walk and go with 1 or 2 placeholders for this year. We have guys who are getting close to making the bigs. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Decent depth guy, but not at that price tag. He will find another job but it's pretty unlikely that its for 4M Best of luck, Hutton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I bet he ends up signing with the Sens or Leafs. Maybe even the Habs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least one would think Hutton could be qualified, sign a new contract in the 4-4.4 range and then be traded even at a discount. If only those first two things happen then worst case scenario we keep Hutton at an inflated price and we can move him later. Maybe he just re-signs and they skip arbitration. Who's trading for a $4.2m Hutton? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call BS that they tried to trade him in the middle of a playoff race with our injuries and how playoff crazy our ownership and management are. Yes it's steep, but he's a good depth option it sucks to keep losing nhl players again and again for nothing. Asset management is what seperates the top organizations from the rest. really? I thought it was playing well at the right time and some injury luck. what part of not overpaying for a 3rd pairing d isn't 'asset management'? 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yea losing more player for nothing. Fantastic. On a team with No depth but it’s ok thou because a older ufa will be given a ridiculous contract instead,. They had to know this at the trade deadline why wouldn’t they move him then......... losing young nhl d for nothing because your afraid he arbitration will pay him market value.lol. Oh well status quo for jimmy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, let Hutton go and hope he circles back for a way more reasonable deal than 4 mil if you want to keep him. I’m okay with him coming back but I’d prefer trying to add a bit more sandpaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to walk away and save the cap space. Another cheaper player can get their shot now. Anything to b!!ch about Benning though. 5 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a young dman that’s been good on a terrible team and would have provide depth as a rental. I don’t believe anything Jim says because it’s all a lip service. Geezus benning traded for pooalot who was ten time worse than Hutton phillip Larsen......but know body wanted hutton sure thing, I guess the only guy that trades picks for garbage dmen is our gm. A fifth rounder.... The arbitrator looks at both sides if he’s so awful and has zero value and nobody wanted him why would they award him 4mill. That makes total sense. Huh. It’s okay we need that cap space for the job saving ufa that’s going to get a handcuffing contract as per the norm with spender Jim. I get it people on here will defend every move he makes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 2 hours ago, DeNiro said: We’re talking about 6 drafts... Every single player Benning picked with his first 5 picks as GM have played in the NHL for comparison. The only high pick there was for Virtanen. Dont even try to defend Gillis. He goes down as the worst drafting GM in franchise history by far. Oh no doubt Gillis draft is terrible but he is picking 29-30 every year and 55+ got his next pick literally every year hes been here. At that point those are all lottery picks. Benning first draft his first 2 picks are higher than any pick Gillis ever had and McCann he got rid of so fast because he doesnt view him as a fit here. I mean if you are judging their drafting based on how many of them plays in the nhl or whatever then I can say Ben Hutton played more games than all the non 1st round pick by Benning combined. I just want to say Gillis sucks at drafting but Benning ain't much better until those player actually makes an impact and so far none of the non 1st have. Gillis had 1 top 10 pick and he nailed it with horvat. Same cant be said about Benning and his 4 didnt include this year coz it's way too early but virtanen and juolevi not that they cant be great but considering what's been drafted after them I would say it's a fail 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
