Drew a Penalty Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Link: -- There's nothing linking NYR to Hutch so I'm just spitballing here. As bad as he's been in Toronto, he's still a very solid goaltender at the AHL level. The Rangers need a starter for Hartford because the duo of Huska and McCollum isn't going to carry them in the playoffs. Hutchinson has experience with a deep playoff run in the A. Maybe his confidence is blown and it isn't worth it, but I can't see how it would hurt. The Rangers more than likely have to make a move if they want to ensure that Hartford sustains through the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I wonder if they have a legitimate shot at a claim? Given the waivers order, are there any other AHL affiliates of teams doing worse than the Rangers who'd need him more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Why waste a contract? i know we're at 46 (he'd make 47) but not seeing the value there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 They're at 46/50 and he's a UFA at the end of the year. It's a no-harm scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Once the Rangers season is over, Sheshterkin will go back down and carry the Wolfpack in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Don't think he can, has to go down by a certain point. In hindsight, they should have sent Georgiev down when they had a chance, but they've struggled to make tough decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Don't think he can, has to go down by a certain point. In hindsight, they should have sent Georgiev down when they had a chance, but they've struggled to make tough decisions. From what I gather through reddit, is that you can send down Sheshterkin for like a day after the trade deadline and he would then be eligible for the AHL Playoffs. Again this is from reddit so it can be completely wrong. I thought it happened all the time that eligible players for the AHL would be sent down once The NHL team is eliminated or season ended. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2018/02/ahl-playoff-eligibility-transactions.html One thing that is sometimes lost in the shuffle on trade deadline day is a huge number of paper transactions made by each team around the league. Young players that are currently with the NHL club and waiver-exempt, are sent down to the minor leagues for just one day to make them eligible for the AHL playoffs. Though the NHL rosters are expanded on trade deadline day, teams are still left with just four non-emergency recalls for the rest of the season, several of which are used by these eligibility paper transactions.

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hutchinson? Now it has reached the utterly far-fetched idea of picking up a goalie that has flopped... literally. Who could seriously consider this a prudent move? I already have the answer. It's a widely known " secret ". T. G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
