- he didnt fail to report to the Moose
- he didnt go public with his trade demand. Until now.
- didnt talk to the media
- instead he had an allstar season with the moose
I just dont see the reason to hate on the guy. He even admits Hellebuyck is a great goalie. If either Hutch or Helly had a better season last year I doubt Mason gets signed.
Its also amazing how quickly this fanbase will turn on a goalie. I guess after being abused by management with Pavelec for so long we have a very short fuse.
Also people tend to forget Hutch lead the league in sv% for a big part of the payoffs season. Its too bad we havent seen that form from him since.

That form did return this season though didn't it? People who went to Moose games saw it.
Are we going to see him get a few games this season? Playoffs?
Me too on winning.
The narrative Hutch got the same chances are false...period,
It’s too bad Hutch feels this way as I think him and Helle would be a great tandem.
I think a lot of people understand Hutch’s position and those who don’t seem to show a lot of animosity for whatever reason.
What hate? I don't get this.
There isn't any hate in this thread...

Like I said in the Trade/Speculation thread earlier. The most interesting part was that he asked for a trade and the Jets told him they would attempt to accommodate his request
The duo left enough to be desired that Jets’ captain Blake Wheeler called out the position, telling Matt Larkin of The Hockey News, “For us to get where we need to go, we need to have that position solidified. We need better goaltending.
True. For skaters, there is always another line or pairing to play on even if you are demoted, but if you are the goalie that does not start, that's it for you.The NHL is an unforgiving league especially for goalies. It's tough, but it's the reality.
This I can agree with.I don't believe anyone is saying he got the same opportunities just that he got enough of them to show more than he did. Helle didn't get the same opportunities as Pavs either, one poor season and they brought in a starter. Helle just did what Hutch was unable to do and seize the job away from the incumbent and keep it. I for one am glad the org learned from the Pavs bungle.
As I said I wish Hutch well in his next opportunity, but I will call him out for not owning some responsibility for his situation (Thats not hating the guy its just pointing out that he bares some blame in it and instead scapegoating the org he would be best served to acknowledge his own play).
I like the new parents analogy. I like to think Chevy has learned on the job since 2011. Just because a mistake was made early in his GM career, doesn't mean he intends to repeat it.This I can agree with.
Hutch did drop the ball.
The organization can be compared to new parents who let the first child ( Pavs)
get away with bad behaviour.
Hutch subsequently didn’t get the same opportunities nor should he.
The statements he got the same opportunity is then false.
I agree with King Bogo that we should no longer continue to keep inferior players in the line up going forward.
I don’t blame Hutch for wanting to move on and I wish him well.
When Pavs finally left I wanted him to do well also.
