NHL Rumors: Vancouver Canucks – Hutton, Salary Cap Space and Free Agents

Rick Dhaliwal: Looking like defenseman Ben Hutton‘s time with the Canucks could be up. It would be a surprise if the Canucks didn’t explore the idea of trading him at the draft in June.

Rick Dhaliwal: Corey Hirsch on the Ben Hutton saga: “The team may give Hutton the summer to improve himself. Give him a chance to get stronger and bigger and see where he’s at in come training camp and then perhaps move him then.”

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: To bridge the one-, two- or three-year gap until some of their prospects are ready, do the Canucks look at short-term, big money deal to free agents?
