My preference would be to trade him in the offseason. But I don't think that's necessarily the right time to get the best value for him.
It would absolutely change the character of the team. They'll just have to get over it.
Housley gave Hutton a ton of credit in the post game today for the things he said to the team after game 1.
What a breath of fresh air it just be in that locker room to have a veteran goalie with a professional mindset.
