Islanders' Grant Hutton: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Hutton cleared waivers Friday and was sent to Bridgeport of the AHL, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
This was a foregone conclusion as Hutton only has a single point in 16 games for the Islanders this season and was unlikely to be on the radar of any teams. The fact that Hutton can also be an unrestricted free agent after the season could've also played a part in teams not being interested in claiming him. Hutton likely will sign a two-way contract with the Islanders or another team during the offseason.

Islanders' Grant Hutton: Designated for waivers
Rotowire
Hutton was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Considering Hutton has one point in 16 games this season, his impending demotion to the minors shouldn't come as a shock. The blueliner is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so there is little incentive for a team to try and claim him. As such, Hutton figures to wind up in AHL Bridgeport once he clears.
