I'm not sure if Hunt is the guy I'm thinking about, but weren't people raving about him last year saying he was one of the most underrated players in the league?

 

[Bazeek]

I don't get it.

Edit: Guess they didn't think Belpedio was ready? Fair enough, then.

Wouldn't say that but he is a great locker room guy and a decent puck mover. He was used earlier in the season on the power play as we were dealing with injuries & Schmidt's suspension with a bit of success.

 

[FissionFire]

Interesting move. Basically just giving Hunt to Minny.

 

[Balthazar]

So Hunt is worth the difference between a 5th round pick and a 6th round pick.

Who gets called up in vegas?

Knights have two players coming off the IR, so this is all about the roster crunch.

Two players ready to come off the IR shortly. Most likely Reilly Smith to start as he skated today.

Oh yea, I remember him now.

Good for him, he might get a better shot at ice time in MIN. Would be interesting if Vegas was shedding some depth because of a bigger planned add by the deadline.

So it's safe to say Minnesota's 5th round pick

Isn't Hunt one of the guys that GMGM was so afraid of losing on waivers last season that he sent down Shipachyov?

 

[Duke16]

Don't even know where to put this, probably a typo:

You mean the guy that he was afraid of losing for nothing so he sent the waiver ineligible forward down instead of losing? If so, yes.

And he got a pick out of it.

 

[AKL]

Uh ok

 

[MNRube]

Maybe Vegas feels bad about getting Tuch & Haula for free

 

[CupInSIX]

Are my eyes deceiving me? VGK down to only 7 defensemen?

Hunt is pretty good offensively. Not so much in his own end. If the Wild keep his ES minutes low and use him mostly on the PP he should do well.

 

[AKL]

I don't get it.

Hunt listed as a LD. Didn’t watch tonight, did they have Belpedio playing left or right?

Does this mean Brodin is going to play right?

 

[SensFactor]

I was hoping the Giants went after Kareem Hunt

 

[HOPE]

Don't even know where to put this, probably a typo:

huh lol, had to go on NHL website wondering if i missed maata being traded lmao

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Didn't he play today? Or was that truly Maatta...

 

[DanCloutiers5hole]

Does this mean Dumba is officially done for the year?

Yeah, I assume Brodin will shift to the right.
