The signing comes after Christian Djoos was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Red Wings and Brendan Guhle was placed on long-term injured reserve to start the season. Hutton joins a crowded defense group, which will feature several players fighting for ice time. Regardless, Hutton’s deal essentially comes with no risk, based on the term and price, and the potential to provide great value for the Ducks.
