From who? Hutch isn't doing too hot in the AHL. .902 for a backup ain't bad. And 7-5 isn't great but could be worse. He definitely has gotten better as the season has worn on. He used to lose his net and over play, hes not now. As said, it's the rebound killing him..and our defense. Look last night Freddy made like 5 or 6 10 bell saves and but hes a Vez candidate. We give up too many high quality chances. If hes screened, or there is a deflection OR it's a snipe how he supposed to save it. People are just pissed we lost Curtis. I wasnt. Dubas made the right call..at some point you have to go with the younger guy..cheaper (which we need now), and it may take some time, even a full year and summer but he will be fine.
Scott and Woll are several years away. I cant see us moving Sparks and what not in a trade because of our depth their now, its weak. He would get claimed 200%. You put him on a real good D team and people would be saying hes great because his numbers would be better.
The issue is D, too many high % chances, not enough boxing guys out to give him a clear look. And if he let's a weak one in, well he hardly plays, and hes a rookie. People last yr said Freddy stunk..while I said he should've been Vez nominee, and by years end he should've. This yr if he gets snubbed the NHL is rigged
