Quinn Hutson Signs Two-Year ELD with Oilers, Expected NHL Debut Monday

Quinn Hutson, a standout forward from Boston University, has signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers and is set to make his NHL debut against the Los Angeles Kings. The 23-year-old, who led the Terriers with 50 points this season, joins an Oilers team looking to enhance its roster ahead of the postseason, even though Hutson will not be eligible for playoff participation. His signing comes after a successful collegiate career where he accumulated 114 points in 117 games over three seasons. Hutson's arrival coincided with a flight diversion due to a wildlife strike, but he arrived safely in Edmonton and participated in practice. This strategic signing aims to bolster the Oilers' forward depth as they prepare for future seasons. Hutson is the older brother of Lane Hutson, a promising defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens.
