Well it is something to clear a roster spot. Better than waivers.

Best of luck to Brad. Roster logjam. Maybe VGK goes and acquires another defenseman?

Personally I think they've changed their philosophy to have 7 D-men until no roster limits or they define what to do with their third line.

Official announcement.

Moving extra D man.

Perhaps clearing roster spot should they want to recall Brannstrom.

 

[IceNeophyte]

They were never going to give him a real shot, might as well dump him.

Not likely. With Smith coming off IR, need to create a spot without losing a player on waivers.

No, the Wolves fans that exist would appreciate an attempt of helping us out by trying waivers, or acquiring an AHL forward who can produce offense unlike our scrubby bottom six. No it’s ok. Great move!

Agreed. Get the Wolves some players McPhee.

P.S. I appreciate you Brad Hunt and hope you get playing time and do well in Minny.

If Smith & Carrier come back they still need to get rid of another player. Bye bye Zykov.

Send Zykov and Nosek through waivers, or trade both for a pair of solid AHL forwards.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Sorry to lose him. Was a nice depth defenseman.

I hope the trade was done in time for him to get on the Wild team flight out of Vegas.

 

[hangman005]

It is what it is, but I will say it should have been Merrill, but Turk loves him too much. Hopefully he has a fair shot to actually play hockey with the wild.

 

[CupInSIX]

Now that they're down to 7, I wonder if Whitecloud might be called up and down as the 8th defenseman. He still has 79 NHL games he can play in before he has to go through waivers (this year and next).

Right now there's no roster space if Smith plays on Wednesday, but he might be the callup in case of injury.

I find Lindberg far more likely than Zykov. But I could be wrong

 

[Knightmare]

Brad Hunt: Man, that sucks we lost to the Wild tonight.

GMGM: Brad, you’ve been traded to the Wild.

Brad Hunt: oh cool, we won tonight.

For somebody preaching about VGK fans knowing nothing about the Wolves you know an awful little about VGK if you want Vegas to get rid of Nosek.

You should be grateful you got to keep Hyka and Carr virtually the entire year and Pirri for a good portion. I think you are very selfish, wanting Vegas to waive players just to appease your AHL viewing habits.

 

[Nevada Jones]

I miss Huntsy!

Thanks, Brad...and best of luck.

 

[CupInSIX]

Honestly Hunt isn't that much worse than Holden. I know some people would say he's definitely better.

I find Lindberg far more likely than Zykov. But I could be wrong

I doubt they want to risk losing him to waivers at this point. Zykov probably would go unclaimed, so he'd be much needed help for our developmental league farm affiliate.

After all, the developmental league farm club of much developing and farming is battling for 1st but they only have AHL stars like Carr, Macek, Brannstrom, Hague etcetera etcetera.

Could you imagine being able to watch Brannstrom & Hague in their pro debuts for $20 a ticket? And still complain?

That's funny. It's not like Hyka and Carr should be solid NHL players at the moment. But your fans think that all of our top performers should be up there and we should be left with our crap. Other affiliations do things to benefit each other, but this Hunt trade is ridiculous. We shouldn't have had to give up a six rounder and Hunt for a fifth rounder. Let's see how Zykov gets handled.

 

[chihockey1989]

For somebody preaching about VGK fans knowing nothing about the Wolves you know an awful little about VGK if you want Vegas to get rid of Nosek.

How are Nosek's numbers this season? 46 GP, 12 points, and a -11? So when Carrier and Smith get over their day-to-day injuries, who will be the healthy scratches? My guess is Zykov and Lindberg, Carrier, or Nosek will be on that consistent short list. Numbers wise, Carrier and Zykov are at the bottom. So decisions have to be made.

You don't understand. Vegas is the Wolves' farm team. VGK is obligated to provide them with Calder Cup talent.

Zykov is not eligible to be sent down. If he leaves the roster, he is gone. This is because he has already been placed on waivers enough times.
