Confirmed Trade: [TOR/ARI] Leafs acquire Carter Hutton for future considerations

[conFABulator]

Minnesota.

This was a joke answer, right?

I don't think there has ever been or ever will be a team with a worse cap situation than this version of the Minnesota Wild.

They are a couple million under the cap this year but have a fee key players to resign in tbe off-season. That will be difficult with the Parise and Suter buyout penalities ballooning to close to $13M next year and $15M for the two years after that. The cap could cause a serious dismantling in Minnesota, I don't see how they avoid that actually.

People still talking about this?
It's like a nothing move. cost us nothing and its money spent that doesn't really impact our team overall.
so overall...... Who cares

 

[Arthur Morgan]

You don't get better draft picks for losing in the AHL. You could try to ice a competitive goaltender and your other AHL prospects might benefit more from winning.

Your taking this too seriously. hell he can even help mentor our kids if he even comes to Toronto

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Minnesota.

For this season.... remember that 4.7m deadcap goes up to 14.7m next season

You haven’t seen Hutton play have you?

Look if u think Hutton is going to play the majority of the games as a 36 year old coming off an injury where he hasn’t played in months at the expense of AZ’s top goaltending prospect then hold onto that. I don’t think that’s how it plays out. I will be surprised if he plays at all.

Why would AZ want him there then? If he was not to play, he could just go to the Marlies and not play there.

He’s not going to play period. The arrangement is so he doesn’t have to leave his family. I will be happy to be wrong but if i will be surprised if he dresses a game let alone plays a game the rest of the year. Toronto did AZ a favour by paying his salary for them and it doesn’t hurt the development of their prospects.

If he isn't to play a game and just stay home, why does it matter if he's with assigned to the Marlies or Tucson?

Do you technically have to suspend/not pay a player who doesn’t report? What are the legal precedents if he does this and you don’t?

Almost 6 million under and sitting pretty .

Mmmm...ok. Don't you see that this might not have been an unnecessary move? Picking up $750K of Hutton might have been necessary to get Arizona to take on Ritchie with no retention. This is not only unnecessary, it was extremely creative and shrewd.

It was simply an extension of the Ritchie deal. Arizona doesn't was to pay Ritchie 3.3 million next year so Leafs pay a pro rated portion of Hutton's contract as retention. Also this clears a contract space of Arizona incase it is needed late on. When you have MLSE money it is easy to spend.

You don't have to suspend him if you don't care about it.

Is that because Dumba is on LTIR? Serious question

Could be . A simple check on the cap situation shows minn in OK shape this season leading up to the deadline.

Thanks. To me it looks like they are much closer when Dumba comes back.

They are heading into the worst cap situation I have ever seen. They lose $13M is space this off-season and $15M the next two. I don't know how you even do that. You are looking at dropping four $5M players (when you account for the coat of replacing them). Just go through any team in the league and see how hurt they would be by removing four players of that calibre.
