The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Carter Hutton today in exchange for what should maybe be called “past considerations”. Hutton, who was waived by Arizona while the Leafs were waiving Ryan Dzingel, cleared today, and that means the Coyotes would have to pay him still, and he’s due $750,000 no matter where he plays.
Because Hutton cleared waivers, he can report directly to the Marlies. Hutton is 36, and his deal expires this summer.
For the Maple Leafs they get a very experienced NHL goalie (235 NHL games) as depth. But where does he fit in the depth chart in terms of ability?
