Michael-Hutchinson

Toronto Maple Leafs‘ 9th year goaltender Michael Hutchinson(39) was off to an uneven start with his new club Florida Panthers after signing with the team on the opening day of unrestricted free agency, which led him to be traded north.

The former 5 year Winnipeg Jets‘ net minder had a whirlwind 2013/2014, where he played the majority of his games, 28 in the ECHL with affiliate Ontario Reign and also guarded the cage in 24 AHL contests for St. John’s IceCaps before taking them on a playoff run that only ended after game 5 of the Calder Cup Finals.

He managed a 1.95 GAA and .938 SV% in a losing effort, which was probably helped by the three games in the NHL he ended up getting recalled for to close out the season.

His efforts would gain him notice as one of those few players almost every year that plays games in each of the top three pro hockey leagues.

Those 55 games had to be the clincher in him next scoring a two-year extension with the 2nd season on a one-way deal.
