Confirmed on NHL network.

For a July 1st UFA contact it doesn't get much better. Only need the guy to be consistently decent and hope that Ullmark continues to develop into a legit full time starter. Very smart move by Botts.

Backup money on a potential starter with a good locker room reputation? Continued to be impressed by Mr Botterill

Pretty good interview on Sportsnet just now

 

[Sabre the Win]

Wow GREAT interview with Hutton on NHL Network.

 

[Icicle]

He dodged the question about playing more than 40 games saying he would like to but he has to play well to get that. Not surprised he’s liked.

 

[Goathead]

Couldn't be happier he was the guy I wanted and hes on a great contract. He will be a great mentor to Ullmark. Its going to be a huge personality change in net now going from Lehner to Ullmark and Hutton who are both very well liked by teammates.

Like him already!

lol

 

[SabresFan26]

Loved his interview on NHLN.

 

[sabrebuild]

For this money I don’t mind the extra year at all.

 

[Icicle]

Andrew Allen and Housley were factors into him forgoing 500k/yr to sign here. I thought those two were all bad!

 

[Icicle]

He knows Ullmark is "the guy" and his role is to mentor him and shelter him for his first year or two, and bought into this. Could it be a better situation?

He's a TEAM guy. Still wish we had him in STL.

Treat him well.

A mentor for Ullmark. Insurance if Ullmark doesn't develop into a starter. Reasonable contract, not too long a term. Sounds like an excellent teammate. Not a head case. Can stop a shootout attempt. It's rumored he can even hug the post!

What's not to like? Thanks, Botts.
