2 more years at 2.25? Not sure anybody bites...
It's not that surprising, Cole has started to play really well again recently and Oleksiak made Hunwick expendable. Hunwick is a polarizing player with the Penguins, he was good at the start of the year and bad after he came back from his injury. I think he's definitely movable, he's a fringe #5/6 that is paid like a fringe #5/6. It's just a question of who is going to trade for him? You can trade him for a 4th round pick or a 23 year old AHL prospect, you can definitely do that. It's just who is going to do that?
I thought he was suppose to be an upgrade over Hainsey or so I was told. Where's Emp lol
Solid timing lol, still think he's better than Hainsey?

He was supposed to be an upgrade on Hainsey, because Hainsey was like oil and water with the Penguins due to his poor skating and puck moving. Hunwick started out the season really well and looked like a good fit, and then he got hurt and everything went down the drain.
It's amazing that you're too dense to understand this. Let's lay it out for you nice and easy:
1. Hainsey was a bad fit for the Penguins because he wasn't a strong skater and couldn't move the puck well.
2. Hunwick is a good skater that has fine puck moving talent, therefore he fits the Penguins system better than Hainsey does.
3. Therefore, Hunwick is better for the Penguins than Hainsey was.
Why do Leafs fans have to make all threads about the Leafs?
I hope someone bites, Pens could use that 2.25 million in the offseason to sign Ian Cole, he's such an underrated D-man.
I wasn't making it about the Leafs, it was more a direct comparison between two guys that switched teams basically. Your points are interesting but considering the fact that as much as you might hate it, Hainsey played a pretty vital role in that Penguins playoff D last year. This year the Pens D is legitimately worse depth wise(though you do have Letang back on the top end) and the the guy brought into replace Hainsey isn't working out at all.
no. leivo is more likely to stay now that sosh was traded. also hunwick sucks and his contract sucks as wellToronto needs another dman, how about Leivo for Hunwick?

Pens D is in way better shape this season than last year. Not only because Letang is healthy, but Oleksiak has helped stabilize the bottom pair where Hunwick was suppose to play.
Ruh can’t even get in the lineup this season since Oleksiak came over.
Don't even jokeToronto needs another dman, how about Leivo for Hunwick?
