[Leafidelity]

Makes sense, McMann and Holmberg have been better

He's not very good so whatever. Would rather have the roster spot open.

 

[OVO16]

Lol why? He was so much better than Simmonds.

We finally had a tenacious 4th line checker who finished his checks constantly and dubas said nah

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He is good depth for the Marlies if he clears. He can actually score a lot at the AHL level.

But he is not an NHLer, and certainly not one in Toronto.

 

[Buds17]

Can he score a goal for a fourth team this season? In all seriousness, this (potential) exit would be both quick and yet not entirely unexpected.

 

[SprDaVE]

Pretty useless. He's a fine depth forward. I'm sure he'll clear but if he does get claimed, it would be ideal for the flexibility.

We all knew he'd end up on waivers when the Leafs got healthy.

 

[Apex Predator]

Is this to make move for Brodie coming of the IR?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Hopefully Holmberg getting recalled

Hunt during the game

“come in guys. show some passion. our goalie is getting run we gotta respond”

after the game

Keefe: (calls dubas) “hey Kyle, according to our plan, this Hunt guy is not it”

 

[TMLeafer]

Meh I thought he was decently effective compared to Simmonds or Clifford.

He is useless and McMann is better.

 

[D00bis]

Maybe they are trying to clear spots for a trade?

 

[Al14]

Meh, so what!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Far from a Hunt fan, but he's a much better depth players than Simmonds. Not sure why the organization has such a love affair with him

 

[Burnie97]

Well then lol. Thought he was alright but obviously they don't think so. No huge loss though.

 

[The Podium]

McMann took his spot. I guess they prefer to have Simmonds leadership around.

 

[Ciao]

If they need to put Hunt on waivers to call up Holmberg, then I'm all for it.

No big loss if he is claimed.

Simmonds is a proven vet that they won't screw around with.

Hunt is waiver fodder.

Not to mention that Simmonds passed through waivers, too.

 

[I am Canadian]

This guy actually finishes his checks and skates hard. What are they looking for?

 

[TakeTheBody]

Yawn

Corsi and pokechecking abilities

So will those crying over this move regale the rest of the board with who they should have waived instead of Hunt?

Easily Simmonds. We already know nobody else in the league wants him, and he's much worse at hockey

Bearing in mind there was zero chance Simmonds was going to be waived, then who?

Why was there zero chance? He's been waived twice already.
