Anaheim Ducks Add Defensive Depth

The Anaheim Ducks are trying their best to secure some depth on defense and have agreed to bring in free agent veteran, Ben Hutton for a look. 

The professional tryout will likely turn into a one-year deal once the season starts and the team can move around some more contracts.

Hutton is a familiar foe for the Ducks as he played last season with the Los Angeles Kings and the previous four seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. In 2019-20 Hutton chipped in with 16 points in 65 games and was a plus five on a struggling Kings team.

The 27-year-old was receiving interest from a number of teams including the Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils. 

While Hutton plays a tough game and is hard to place against as an opponent, here's a video displaying his softer side while a member of the Canucks:
