According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Toronto Maple Leafs will make an effort to shore up their blue-line by signing defenseman Ben Hutton.
Ben Hutton is 26 years old and has played his entire four year career with the Vancouver Canucks.
Hutton was a fifth round pick back in 2012.

Ben Hutton, according to Friedman, is a player the Leafs attempted to trade for before he was cut loose by the Canucks.
Hutton was not given a qualifying offer last week, and he is now an unrestricted free-agent.
