GDT: Game 13: Wild @ Rangers - 6 PM CT

[57special]

He directly lead to the Rangers scoring their game winning goal with a boneheaded pinch. He’s not the only reason, but he certainly played a part.

He did mostly good, but made one bad pinch. Not good, but scoring only one goal, and by the 4th line at that, isn't going to get it done.

I think Hunt is getting a bit more comfortable out there. Still not sure what we have in him, though

I'm still not really noticing him a lot out there, which I'm gonna say is a good thing for now. I notice Merrill when he's out there, so I like not noticing Hunt.

Yeah -- I didn't realize he played. I guess that's a good first step as a defender.

True, would be terrible seeing 97, the best player the franchise has had in a long time, waste his prime years on a mediocre team.

I think it’s safe to say it’s happening before our eyes

As much as Guerin gets some criticism for some of his moves, I much prefer his style to Kenny Holland's. Famously unable to make a trade any trade.

I think Hunt is still very hesitant out there, which makes him look slower than he is. He is a much better skater than Merrill. Not quite as long, but pretty strong on his skates, and better with the puck, or should be, but again, the confidence doesn't seem to be quite there. I'm not sure about his judgement...i think it's ok, but not great.

Too bad he didn't bury that chance he had last night. Would've helped him mentally, i think.

I've been down on Merrill since we got him.
