Toronto Maple Leafs Acquire Carter Hutton

February 21, 2022 at 7:47 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 10 Comments

7:47 pm: PHNX Sports’ Craig Morgan reports that the Maple Leafs are expected to loan Hutton back to the AHL’s Tucson Roadrunners for the time being. Considering the Leafs’ considerable depth at the position in the AHL, the move is such as to not separate Hutton from his family. In the unlikely event he’s needed, he can still be recalled to Toronto.

6:38 pm: Goalie Carter Hutton is on the move from the Arizona Coyotes to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for future considerations, per the team. Hutton had cleared waivers today, meaning that he can be assigned directly to the AHL.

This is the second trade between the two teams within a matter of days. The Maple Leafs acquired Ilya Lyubushkin and Ryan Dzingel from Arizona in exchange for Nick Ritchie and a conditional draft pick, only to lose Dzingel on waivers today to the San Jose Sharks.

Hutton, now 36, played just three games for the Coyotes this season before going down with a lower-body injury. Healthy now, he’ll in all likelihood report to the Toronto Marlies, providing the organization with some additional goalie depth.

Hutton had an eye-popping .741 save percentage and 7.83 goals-against average in those three games with the Coyotes. With youngster Karel Vejmelka and mid-season acquisition Scott Wedgewood holding the fort admirably behind a weak Arizona team, Hutton’s place within the organization had faded away.

The acquisition is somewhat confusing, considering Toronto already has Michael Hutchinson, Erik Källgren, Joseph Woll, and Ian Scott in the minors.

    Crazy that he is 36. For some reason I thought he was in his mid to late twenties.

      Doing Arizona a solid by paying his salary

    This is Petr Mrazek insurance. The Leafs more than likely have capable backups in Woll and Hutchinson. If there’s a chance now to unload Mrazek so they can add a top 9 forward and have money available to sign Campbell after this season then I say they take it. Mrazek is not cutting it in Toronto. Why keep him around for any longer if that’s the case. You want NHL experienced goalies if anything should happen, but I bet they’re looking at a tandem of Campbell/Woll going forward.

      Hutton basically hasn’t played this year. This is doing Arizona a solid by paying his salary which doesn’t affect the cap.

    With the way Mrazek played tonight, Hutton might be an upgrade.

    what was that line Newt said to Ripley in Aliens…?

    “It won’t make any difference.”

    just save the money next time and take ur lumps w/who you’ve signed already…

    I mean, what if Mrazek snaps out of it?
