The Leafs announced today that they have signed goalie Michael Hutchinson to a two-year, two-way contract at an AAV of $725,000 in the NHL.
Hutchinson struggled mightily as an NHL backup this past year, with Toronto, before putting up two good playoff games and one bad one for a super talented but injured Colorado team. Despite the voice in my head yelling oh God it’s happening again, this is a different situation. He’s being asked to be fourth on the goalie depth chart behind Frederik Anderson, Jack Campbell, and Aaron Dell, not second.
