This might open up the opportunity to trade Tanev mid-season and put Benn on the right. This is important if Juolevi is ready for the NHL level where Benn might even partner him. Also, Tryamkin plays both sides, but apparently plays right more. This also allows for Sautner and Brisebois to possibly play more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was the fittest he’s ever been in his career and barely missed a step playing 20+ mins near the end of last season. If he can build on that and eventually improve on the 25 points he showed in his rookie season, he can be a very solid top-4 defenseman. Considering how people like to show unwavering support for our own draftees, which is logical, I’m surprised people aren’t more supportive of a player taken in the 5th round who’s developing the way Hutton is. That’s a feel-good story if I’ve ever seen one. Apparently you are. The 31 GMs sure didn't knock down his door trying to sign him yesterday.

Sautner and Brisebois are simply good call up depth right now, but they could be used in a pinch should Tanev be traded earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton will get a contract, probably to Toronto after they iron out the Marner contract & make some other small moves. He won't be getting paid much though, that's for certain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a feel-good story if I’ve ever seen one. This is a good post..but the aforementioned next contract was throwing a bit of a wrench here. Additionally, there comes a time where we're compelled to swap out some of the 'developing potential' for an asset(or two) that emphatically delivers an attribute(s) we might be short on. At some point or other, every team faces the evolution of (almost) inevitable change, & being forced into these hard decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 2 hours ago, The Lock said: I have to agree with this. I really think we should be wishing him nothing but the best. Also the mentality here towards players like Hutton to me show we're not much different than markets like Toronto or Montreal in terms of fan mentality. Don't think I've seen anyone giving him the extra good-riddance boot out the back door. 2 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: same reason we had to let him go I suspect, he doesn't want to take a pay cut Apparently he already turned down an offer from the Kings.

I was just saying that Benn's flexibility sets us up well for the next couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Really happy to have a BC Benn join the team. It sounds like he's very happy about it, maybe we'll see the best of him yet. It's too bad his brother makes so much (around $10 a year), would love to have him on the team too. As for Hutton, he had a real good thing going here. Team mates liked him, fans liked him, etc. But I guess because he figures he did extra crunches over last year's offseason he deserves to be paid like a top 4 Dman. He did fill in pretty well when Edler went down, but I'm not sure he's good enough for the top 4 on a regular basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Hughes on the bottom pair to loosely quote JB I can see Hughes doing for the D this year what Pete did for the Fwds last year.

Green supports your point about Hughes. Green said Hughes’ ice time went from 14 minutes in game one to plus 22 minutes in game five. He said Quinn can handle big minutes because he’s so smart, such a fabulous skater, and an elite athlete. (I added that last observation). But elite guys like Hughes (you mentioned Petey too) have elite athleticism. They are special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I personally am leaning is Hughes Myers (O) Edler Stetcher (Utility) Benn Tanev (Shut down) I feel you can distribute even minutes over these pairings and play each pairing to their strengths. That being said I will support the pairings Green decides on he knows his players better than I. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
