D-Money Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This is a guy I'm surprised hasn't "made it" yet. He was fantastic at the World Championships last year. But maybe he just can't handle the pace at the NHL level. Maybe he would be an upgrade on Burroughs? But don't think he kills penalties, so not really what we need in another LD.

Ilya Mikheyev Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I said this last time, but I would put a claim in and waive Hunt. Guy is a former D partner of Poolman at UND (would make a good bottom pairing rn), former teammate of Boeser. Hasn't played a lot of hockey the past two years, but looked like a solid NHLer in 2018-2019. Canucks could actually use a LHD right now. Decent size, decent underlying #s/Corsi except for his tiny sample with Buffalo this year. Hunt was brought in to be a star in Abbotsford and isn't a dependable 3rd pairing guy. He's not needed on either Canucks PP unit and isn't playing at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schenn, Burroughs, Myers and Poolman. 5 if you count Hamonic when he can play Edited November 30, 2021 by CR7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.. to be fair, there are a lot of positives too with Hunt... 1) He's a local boy 2) He's got experience in PP, decent shot from the point 3) He can skate faster than Chiasson 4) Only making $750k 5) All of the above... So, let's not trash him over and over again... after all, it was JB who lured him here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 LOL... So JB evidently loves Hunt that much to pass on Wolanin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 You could probably build a full team out of players who have been waived this season that could beat the Canucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) To be honest, I don't see how Wolanin's the answer. All I'm reading here is people want him mostly because he's a BC boy.... which is just a terrible way of making a team in my opinion. lol Yet, this seems to happen with almost every BC boy that shows up on waivers or gets trade talks on: people somehow thinking geography makes a player better (it doesn't).

No one is saying he's great, just that he's better than a liability who can't manage limited minutes in an emergency situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
