Can he be worse than Tennyson?

 

[Buffaloed]

He's our new enforcer.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Can we just keep him down there all season, unless McCabe is out long term! Thanks!

 

[Dingo44]

He's our new enforcer.

Hunwick held his own much better than I expected against Kaner.

I'm reading that Hunwick was pretty much playing hurt from the get go last season. Maybe if he can get himself into shape and past his injury he can be the guy that Babcock used to play all the time. Even if there isn't room he's an upgrade on Tennyson and he can be a piece in a trade later. Maybe he even outplays Scandella, though I'm not betting on it.

One of the conditions on the conditional 4th we sent Pittsburgh is that it will become a 3rd if Hunwick is traded prior to the 2019 draft. The other conditions are if Sheary scores 20 or more goals or 40 or more points

I remember that - but I figure that Sheary should reach one or both of those anyway.

Sheary may be too streaky and inconsistent to hit 20 goals. Even on his assist last night - great play - he wiped out for no reason.

Setback in 3... 2... 1...

Can he be worse than Tennyson?

No.

That would be unpossible.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

No.

That would be unpossible.

Housley definitely thought otherwise last season!

Huh?

[Sabreality]

will take Hunny over Tenny all day everyday

 

[Dubi Doo]

Any chance he plays over Tennyson tonight?

 

[Chainshot]

With the long, long layoff, it's hard to imagine him getting into the lineup at this point. But stranger things have happened.

 

[Ralonzo]

He had his ups and downs vs BOS but doesn’t quite have Alfred’s magic touch of helping pucks end up in the Sabres net.

 

[Doohickie]

I thought Hunwick looked okay last night. Timing a bit off at times, but he knew what to do. I wasn't sure if he'd be better than Tennyson, but yeah, he is. I expect he'll get a little better than last night with some playing time.
