Rathbone will be given every chance to earn a spot on the club. you sure about that..? We picked up Richardson to play 17 meaningless games when we could have called up a prospect or one of our AHLers who worked their butts off.

But they had just dumped Motte and still did not have a credible right hand center for the bottom two lines. Richie also is a great guy who provided leadership and reliability to the younger guys on the bottom six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's far less of a liability than Hunt who has no business wasting icetime in the NHL for any reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoping we don't replace this useless pylon with another defenceman who can't play defence. Quit yakking and get out there and find PA an NHL defenseman from the beer league of your choice. You do realize that many 1st round draft picks don't crack NHL rosters, so how in hell do you expect a beer leaguer to do the same? Brad Hunt must be a pretty good pylon by your logic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much improved compared to Burroughs and Hunt. Plus we had injuries on d last year and covid 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Brad Hunt and Nic Petan are going to "test free agency?" I imagine it'll be a short test. Isn't this wording we use for people we wanna bring back but they wanna see what they can get in free agency? I guess maybe we have interest in an AHL contract for em and for whatever reason they believe they have NHL pedigree. Either way, good luck to them.

Chronic.Canuck Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 1 hour ago, King Heffy said: The problem wasn't offensively, it was the fact that his defensive play was simply not acceptable. -3 in 50 games for a 3rd pairing defenseman on a team out of the playoffs is not nearly as bad as you make him out to be. He's definitely replaceable but he was and is an NHL caliber 6/7 defenseman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that Brad Hunt has no business cracking an NHL roster. We've seen the results and it was an unmitigated disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially seeing that one shift where Hunt literally followed that guy skating circles in our zone, that was bizarre.

We'll agree to disagree if you think allowing that pylon to disgrace the franchise every shift he took was acceptable. Bottom line is that he's gone and the team is better as a result.
