The Anaheim Ducks are interested in Ben Hutton after all. The club has inked the defenseman to a one-year contract worth $950,000, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
The Ducks signed Hutton to a pro tryout agreement last weekend but then released the rearguard Wednesday, likely for cap purposes.
Hutton collected four goals and 12 assists while averaging 18:16 in ice time for the Los Angeles Kings last season.
The 27-year-old signed with the Kings in 2019-20 after spending his first four campaigns with the Vancouver Canucks, who drafted him 147th overall in 2012.
