Hutchinson was acquired last year from the Florida Panthers, when Toronto Maple Leafs started Freddie Andersen went down with an injury.
Hutchinson was OK in net for the five games he played for the Leafs – and OK is all you need from a back-up goalie.
According to capfriendly.com the Leafs will pay him $700K on a one year, one way deal (meaning he cannot be sent to the minors without going through waivers).
Hutchinson cleared waivers several times last seasons, so the one-way deal is relevant only to him and his pocketbook.
This is a good deal for the Leafs as they get a serviceable backup goalie for basically the league minimum.
