I thought Hunt was a bit of a mini revelation when he first came to the team and took over Dumba's duties as the point man on the PP. For a little guy, he has a hell of a shot, and an aggressive mindset. He is good at handling the puck both in the O zone and neutral zone, but is a liability without the puck, and his lack of size, reach and physicality in the D zone is a problem, as is his handedness. At this point, a healthy Dumba should make him redundant on the PP, as i see Suter, Spurgeon, Dumba, Fiala, and even Brodin being fine on the point, with Addison and Menell eventually showing up too.
In other words, Hunt filled a role for a while, and at a bargain price, but I'm not sure that he still deserves a spot on the team. If Pateryn could stay on the ice I'm sure he would've spent more time on the bench.
