Davathor Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I've always thought Hutton was HIGHLY overrated on CDC. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Still, wouldnt be surprised to see a team give him a shot in the 2mill range 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him over Motte. Maybe it's simply a role issue, adn we have better players to fill out our top nine. There are all sorts of players not getting qualified though. The flames are tossing Rychel, and I remember when he was considered one of Columbus' future stars. . . Granny over Motte?!!?! serious? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dm_ranger Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Dixon Ward said: He was drafted 147th overall in the 5th round. He played the 25th most games in the NHL of the entire draft class and the most from the 5th round. He is a very successful 5th round pick. He is just not worth the cap hit. This is the right thing to do. He is a 5-7th defenceman at best and we shouldn't spend over 4 million on that. That is an interesting point. Based on his draft position he is a great pick, the trouble is he got a contract he couldn't earn (not his fault) and now everyone treats him with contract level expectations not draft expectations. In a re-draft would he be a first round pick? Edited June 26, 2019 by dm_ranger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Granlund can't skate and his wrist is shot. In then end no one really won the trade. Hutton was a 5th round pick he's already beaten the odds of ever making the NHL, he's a bottom pairing d-man, maybe a 7th or 8th on playoff teams. No way he should be playing top 4 minutes like he was for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only played 4 games in the AHL. He probably could have used some more development time. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a re-draft would he be a first round pick? Hard to see Hutton as a 1st Rd pick but when you consider that Slater Koekkoek was picked in the 1st Rd, picking Hutton in the 5th Rd looks like a steal. I wrote in another thread that it's also worth considering what would happen if the Canucks did qualify Hutton and then have him receive a generous arbitration award. It would basically require them to give up a contract spot and, more importantly, a significant amount of cap space, to a player whose performance would otherwise indicate should be paid quite a bit less. Even if they limited the term to 1-year, unless Hutton were to surprise and improve his performance (which is still possible but becoming less likely), there's a good chance that they would have let him walk away in free agency since it doesn't seem like the trade market is that great for him. It sucks, of course, that the Canucks could lose Hutton without gaining an asset - I think he's done enough to show that he is an NHL player - but the benefits of not signing him to a much too expensive contract are important too. At this stage, I'm hoping the Canucks don't hamstring themselves on an overly lucrative deal for Myers but that remains to be seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm_ranger Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I hope we re-sign Hutton at a 5-6 d salary. I think he's good as a bottom pair D. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinkaruk played 14 games and had 4 points and is now totally sucking for Montreal in the AHL. How did we not win the trade? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Duodenum Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 Actually quite impressed with Benning so far this offseason. Good draft picks, not qualifying Hutton and Granny. Picking up a top six winger with size and skill. Hope he doesn't flush it away with an anchor contract to someone undeserving of it. 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sautner and Brisebois should be there with Juolevi to man the 5th and 7th LHD positions. If we are going to sign someone it should be Jordie Benn for some grit and experience. Not Hutton. We need a new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
