Is there a player on this Canucks roster with more to prove than Ben Hutton?
If not, he should at least have the largest fire currently burning under his rear end. The end of last year couldn’t have ended any worse for the Brockville, Ontario native. He was a healthy scratch, his fitness was publicly called out, and he finished his third NHL season with a measly six assists in 61 games.
He surely can’t be much worse, but how much better can Hutton be in 2017-18?
Where he left off
Hutton actually began the season playing upwards of 23 minutes per night, which seems like forever ago considering his current circumstances.
