RJWantsTheCup Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I knew that goal Hunt scored against the Jets was going to bite us in the ass. Didn't mind him as the 14th forward, but they couldn't afford to keep 14 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 5 hours ago, Phil said: I'd imagine he will be. He's a dirt cheap reliable fourth-line forward who never complains. Colorado, maybe? Lando is out long-term, so they're reshuffling the decks, and have Jayson Megna on their NHL roster at the moment. reppppp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersIn7 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 He’s actually in play for them come playoff time Not necessarily every night, unless there’s an injury. And certainly not for big minutes. But believe it or not, you’re going to see Dryden Hunt get playing time on a Cup contender after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 This WOULD happen. Lmao. For as much as I shit all over that guy (relentlessly) I feel icky that they chose Carpenter and PTO Vesey over a guy that was an (ahhemm) every day player last year and was playing ok. On the other hand it puts a dent in my suggestion that he was a Gallant guy, who would get more undeserved chances. Then again Carpenter is here. So, we know who gave better head. This is all a little weird. Having no depth is uncomfortable. Hunt is Hunt, but they really have nothing to fail back on in case if injury or for when Vesey Veseys. Unless they finally realize the untapped potential of Gauthier. Yeah... That's probably it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that means the defending champs think he's good enough to have on their team yet somehow some fans believe he's not good enough to play on the Rangers...

josh Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I'm sure he'll be on waivers, again, this season. Need the roster flexibility to be able to send people up and down in a tight cap situation. Jones and Schneider the only kids that can get sent down.

No, it means 31 other teams likely didn't have the roster room to add him without subtracting a contract. The Avs did because they just lost Lando and Darren Helm for like half the year or more. He's a good, reliable fourth-line forward who never complains. Coaches dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It means 31 teams already have a Dryden Hunt and didn't see the point in waiving one to get another. I don't give too much credit to marginal players for not complaining. I sure wouldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It means that 30 teams passed on him and one bit. By contrast, if all 31 teams put in a claim, he would have gone to Arizona and you would not know that any other team put in a claim. What happened was unusual, because you could tell exactly who put in claims or not, which you can't do when a player gets taken by anyone but No. 32.

I just don't agree with your assertion, or insinuation, that it's because he's worthless. Specifically because the defending Cup champs put in a claim.

And it's like I said before, the Avs were in a unique position having just lost Lando for half the year after having lost Helm for who the hell knows how long with an abdominal tear. They had the room that those other 31 teams probably didn't without needing to expose one of their current roster players to waivers to make room for Hunt. I just don't buy the face argument that he's worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed a warm body, with some experience and they picked up a guy who played with Panarin for 3/4 of the year and managed an amazing 6 goals.. Yeah its his talent that they saw and jumped on the opportunity to pick up this amazing player. I'm sure he'll see the waiver wire again. Probably landing back with the Rangers.
