Confirmed Trade: [TOR/COL] Calle Rosen for Michael Hutchinson

[Albi34]

Hutch should never play another NHL game. See ya never.

 

[tucker3434]

This is pretty underwhelming, but the hope is that he never actually has to play a game before being waived when Gru is healthy. I guess you don’t want to spend much on that type of player.

 

[nightonthesun]

Rosen was never gonna play another game in an Avs sweater, but I don't know if you can accurately count Hutchinson as "goalie depth"

 

[Qurpiz]

Well after the whole Zamboni driver debacle Dubas had to send a message

 

[Goose]

I’m in the small minority I think, but I still think Hutch is an NHL-level backup. He had a couple of bad games where he was clearly part of the problem, but other than that I think his numbers had as much to do with the team as with him, plus he got into an awful place in terms of the media/fans/blame.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he puts up some solid numbers in Colorado.

I mean I also wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up riding off quietly into the night, but he’s been treated like garbage by Toronto fans and media and I think a lot of it is circumstance/ the team / the system.

We’ll see.

Sakic trying to save Dubas' job

 

[Super Hans]

Hutch and his new teammates can share a few stories about Tyson Barrie playing defense.

 

[Dog]

Okay now bring back Grundstrom!

 

[ottomaddox]

Dubas needs to show a lot more on this day then acquiring Rosen.

 

[Avelanche]

Makes sense from Toronto's POV.

Rosen is better than Marincin comfortably and can play the right side if need be. He'll replace Sandin as the Marlies' #1D in the mean time but its good injury insurance.

Hutchinson is an ECHL goalie. Glad he won't be taking minutes away from Woll/Kaskisuo in the AHL.

Idk about that. Rosen was a turnover machine and he only played 8 games. Pretty much had to be scratched. Def did not see what leaf fans saw.

 

[TDotMassive]

Not that it's a game changing trade or anything, but I am SHOCKED we got anything for Hutch. My gosh... Rosen is decent, young and has upside still. Why would they do this?

They would clearly be better off trading for our Zamboni driver...

 

[Scrapy1980]

Dubas...... ok guys great job today see ya tomorrow......

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Rosen was buried, Avs needed AHL depth goaltending. Rosen probably has higher value in a vacuum, but negotiating for the small delta is probably not worth the bandwidth for Joe at this point, with a move necessary for that 3rd goalie, but additional opportunities more demanding of his attention. Fine with it.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Why would the Avs trade for the league worst goalie? LOL

 

[Mick Riddleton]

This was the leafs big move?

Hutch is clearly not even a 3rd string goalie... he literally had the worst save % in the entire league this year. Now had you traded for our Zamboni driver...

While I doubt Hutch can be an NHL goaltender in the long run, I'm willing to give him a chance behind the Avs defense. It's not the best in the league but miles ahead of Toronto.

Like someone else said already, it probably means Grubauer is not too far out. Just need Hutch to be the backup and maybe take one b2b. I can give him that.

You haven't seen Hutch this year I'm guessing... you would literally be better off taping up a cardboard cutout of Michael Hutchison, it would play better.

Ideally, he literally never has to face a single shot for us at the NHL level. He’s insurance, so the primary concern was cost. This cost was pretty low. It’s not who I would have gone with, but whatever.

Hopefully he never sees the net... better off playing your Zamboni driver, seems to be a thing these days.

Hutchinson has 0 value, so gaining back Rosen here is a free asset IMO. He is better than Marincin

Better than Marincin means absolutely nothing, there are probably negative assets which are better than Marincin.

I would not be shocked if Hutchinson recovers behind the Avs defence, but this trade looks more like a below average backup for a below average #7 D-man, who cares....

Better than Marincin actually means a lot considering we have had to play Marincin quite a bit this year... and now maybe we don't. In a straight-up trade for literally the worst goalie in the league... its a small win.

Has any goalie not named Andersen looked good for the Leafs this season?

 

[Dr Quincy]

Really nothing wrong with it I guess, I guess would have been nice to have Rosen as a injury replacement, but need a backup goalie much more right now.

It still is a need.
