Was there a deal to be made for Hutchison at the deadline? If so, this is the first I have heard of it. As good a GM as Treliving may be, even he is not capable of just "making things happen."


Why would you conclude that there is no plan?
1. Ortio is terrible. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/p...php?pid=120919

2. Pavelec is not tradeable, Hellebuyck can't stay down, therefore Hutchinson. Michael Hutchinson or Ondrej Pavelec

3. And between BT not mentioning goaltending as a need last HNIC, or Burke saying post-deadline that they will address it in the off-season, there is no immediate plan here. These guys must love a tanking team...
