Hutch’s chance came at a point THE ENTIRE Organization was warning would be “a step backwards” season.
To be honest The jets played pretty poor defence in front of hutch. The PK was a shooting gallery, and we had a young team prone to mistakes.
I really think hutch can be a backup. The fact winnipeg didn’t trade him for a bag of pucks already shows they think he has value.
His play in the AHL shows his value.
Heck I’ve got a couple of NHL starters in my hockey pool that have had a bad 10 games here snd there over the years.
I’m not saying Hutch is the greatest, I just think he wasn’t given a solid shot here. And considering the horrible way the Jets have handled goalies, and the horrible horrible goalie coach we have here, I’m surprised so many are ready to throw the kid under a bus.
