TJ Brennan? Or an Abercrombie model

To Europe with him.

Un-signed in the summer, then who the hell cares Hunwick's gone lets have a party

I'll bring the beers

 

[JWK]

He'll become a model.

Honestly would have liked to see him brought up with Barrie going down. I know, shoot me right?

Better option than Wilson all day long, but I guess Roy REALLY doesn't like his game or he's not going to play someone that has absolutely no shot of being here in 3 months.

Probably hurts Hunwicks case that he's injured

Oh I didn't realize that

No reason to kick him when he's down. He was a good soldier for the Monsters all year. Not that I want to see him play with the Avs again but that's not even an option. He'll probably get an AHL gig elsewhere.

Time for shine Hunny Bunny give this man a call up.

When is he going to be "up"? When has he ever been " up"?

 

[Freudian]

Marginal player. Seems like a good guy. Patrick Roy probably hasn't thought about him in months, so if he has a future as a 6th-7th defender somewhere, it won't be here.

 

[ORLY]

Roy probably could have made Hunwick play at least on Holdens level, but I guess he liked Holden more? Poor bunny BYEEEEEE

 

[Bonzai12]

probably minor league defensive coach, so he can share his in-depth knowledge of the game

Roy called up both Stollery and Elliott over Hunwick this year when he needed more D-men. I think it's safe to say that Hunwick is done in Colorado. Personally, I'd be willing to keep him around in Lake Erie on a 2-way contract at the league minimum just for depth, but there is that limit of 50 contracts, and I'd hate to see some prospect who comes on later not be able to be signed because of Hunwick's contract. Though I'm sure he could be bought out cheaply as well at that point.
