Hutton on ATO

The Isles announced this morning that they’d agreed to terms with Miami (Ohio) defenseman Grant Hutton on an entry-level deal to begin next year (and end next year; one-year deal). The expected second half of the announcement took 45 minutes, but it came: Hutton joins Bridgeport on an ATO. He’s a 6-3, 209-pound righty who’ll turn 24 this summer; he was Miami’s captain.
