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.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.
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...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.
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.Hutch is clearly not even a 3rd string goalie... he literally had the worst save % in the entire league this year.

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.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.

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.

Hopefully he never sees the net... better off playing your Zamboni driver, seems to be a thing these days.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.
Hutchinson has 0 value, so gaining back Rosen here is a free asset IMO. He is better than Marincin
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.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....

It still is a need.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.
