Alright now I'm scared. Is something wrong with Freddy
Agreed, the leafs don't play again untill next Thursday after today. If Freddy dosnt play thur then Maybe I will start to worry.Marlies move.
So who will be backing up Sparks?
Surprised none of the stat dorks have said "a 5th round pick?!!? DUBAS YOU IDIOT. We could've drafted Benn!".
It also wasn't an overpayment or even underpayment.I'll be honest. A 5th round pick is a little high for a 3rd stringer acquisition but Hutchinson brings in experience and he's been a damn good AHL goaltender for awhile.
It's really not a big deal at all but it wasn't a steal that's for sure.

Seriously a great move, hutch definitely has potential too. When does his contact expire?

Andersen is listed as “day to day” with a groin injury.i'm surprised people think this means there's a serious problem with Andersen. if there was, Dubas would have probably made a move for a starter rather than made a move to shore up our AHL goaltending

Yeah, I would agree with that. A 5th round pick when he could have been acquired off waivers.

Not really. "good ol' boy" is more in line with the "draft, shmaft" mentality, no? About the tangible present and not the what-if-one-in-a-million late round pick lottery.This would be more in line with a "good ol' boy" opinion. The stats guys would rightly point out that the stats say a 5th round pick likely amounts to nothing at the NHL level
Leafs have a few days off between games for the next 2+ weeks. I believe its only 5 games...let him sit and get to 100%. Smart move, although unsure what other options were available to be had.Andersen is listed as “day to day” with a groin injury.
If there’s a chance it’s even 4 or 5 games, the leafs still had to make some sort of move. Hutchinson is a good enough backup stop gap while Andersen is out.
