Hutton and Rinne ..... Together Again!
While Carter belonged to the Flyers organization and played for the SJ & Chicago farm systems, his start was in Music City. He had three memorable seasons in the country music capital and had a great teacher: Pekka Rinne. Even after the two have parted, the superstar Finnish netminder has had a wonderful friendship with the native of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
And as the CPHL Predators struggled to find consistent netminding this past season, finding a capable tandem became a necessity for this coming season.
The official trade has Kevin Hayes, Kylington and a 2018 third round pick being sent to Philadelphia for Pekka Rinne, Matt Brassard, Jared Moe and Jayden Halbgewachs.
It is rumored that this deal took on many forms but the structure of the deal always had Rinne heading to Nashville. Along with the acquisitions of Corey Perry and Jakub Voracek, the Predators are hoping to make a push to reach the playoffs.
