-AJ- Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hunt was a pretty solid offensive 7th d-man, but wasn't particularly great defensively. By all accords, loved in the locker room though. Losing Petan will hurt Abby, but we've had a few other signings that will probably help fill the gap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt I ended up liking his game here overall in the second half of the season. Only knock on Hunt is his lack of size. Hunt will be 34 in August. I think that’s another knock on him. He is a skilled guy though, so I can see him playing a couple years in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hunt was surprisingly good for us for the level of player he is. Kinda a shame to see a local boy move on, but he wasn't going to get the ice time in Vancouver. I would have liked to see him stick around for depth, but it is what it is. Petan was useless at the NHL level. He tried hard, but his size and lack of finish was apparent. When he was on the ice, I found myself constantly frustrated by his play. I'd rather have Lockwood in there; neither score, but at least Lockwood can contribute in other ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 2 hours ago, King Heffy said: Because he did nothing to earn a spot. He was brutal in camp and his history indicated that he didn't belong in the NHL. The only reason he didn't start in the AHL where he belonged was the incompetent baboon we started the season with who was too stupid to set the lineup. The guy has played NHL minutes ever year since 13. He was signed as a 7 or 8 D, you're right. he was signed to play in the AHL, yet there he was once again playing NHL minutes. I think your completely off base on this one, and the fact the guy gets NHL minutes year and year shows professionals agree. It's fine to have opinions. But being this headstrong against someone when the take is iffy in the first place, paired with the fact that he is such a good person is what really gets me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move forward, not back. ‘Didn’t really care for Hunts game and Petan couldn’t translate offence at NHL level. Meh. I think the more alarming part is he couldn’t crack a team even worse than ours yet people are still acting like he’s the saviour of our defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey...6 gms have signed Hunt in the past 9 years, but Heff knows better than any of those 'bums'. Edited July 4, 2022 by higgyfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcheeze86 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hunt scored some clutchies down the stretch but he plays to his size and we have to many midrange d men to keep more around and petan is a ahl lifer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I think Hunt might still get a job in the NHL somewhere, Petan however was never NHL caliber. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt has been valuable to us , a pro who can fill the holes or hold his lines together. I dearly appreciate his time and play here… but it’s time to let the prospects battle in and out of the line up,. And we still need that extra vigorous great skating D man to let them all play the same 6’7” together as a D core. Rathbone gets that promise with the one way contract.. but I do beleive after a solid Summer, and hopefully the Canucks have their new trainers ready, Juulsen Breisbois and a really great looking Viktor Peersson start to create some waves . Id love to see us land Zadorov,. and maybe we get a late Christmas present in March https://www.instagram.com/reel/COdwFGXFQHr/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Edited July 4, 2022 by SilentSam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever heard him speak, let alone understand him, it was as close to scat in both forms when he opened his mouth. Loved that dude. him making Phaneuf look like a straight up goof was still one of my best Nux memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
