The Price deal is what shocks me most. 10.5 and a full NMC till he's 38. And all negotiated after these lingering health issues made themselves known.

There are very few things I wouldn't do to get my hands on a signed Larsson jersey, and those few things would make Jero blush.

You're wrong... Harrison and Chloe are going to become Co-GMs. Harrison is hiring me on as Assistant GM.

Are you suggesting that he'd slip him the pink instead of giving him the pink slip?

Doing well with LVK as a 5/6 (I believe?) this season btw.

More like a 7/8. He's only played 39 games this season.

When all the isle fans warned us about how slow his feet were when we acquired him they should have mentioned his hands and brain are just as slow.

He was a call-up when the defense was getting thin due to injuries and played his way into being relied upon a regular from that point on, even when the injured players came back. In other words, just like Oesterle (except Hunt is older and plays a more limited role), he has made the most of his chance.

39 games and 18 points so far as a result.
Plays on the third pairing and is a crucial component of their 2nd PP unit (2 goals and 10 assists [involved in 25% of VGK's PP output).

Definitely not a 7/8 at all.

To be fair I did want to give him the benefit that he'd become something seeing as how he was 4th overall.

Still didn't make sense as a trade. We didn't need another uncertainty. We needed a legit top 2 or at least a proven top 4 with potential at the time.

Once Nate Schmidt returns from injury he will be returned to the press box. As he was before Schmidt got injured.

He didn't play from February 19th until March 2nd.

Definitely 7, possibly 8.

So did we all. Deep down I think most of us knew better though. I know I was more than a little disappointed when the trade was announced.

Oh I don't agree with the deal. Overpaid grossly for a hopeful.

Oh snap. Didn't know that.

Regardless, still a solid 5/6 option that can play a specialized role on the PP IMO and it would be wise to keep him in the lineup even after the return of Schmidt. Don't ya think that he deserves that much considering what he has shown so far into the season? A solid third pairing defender who can help QB a PP unit? Not trying to oversell him, but to me, a 7th defender is a person who can easily be replaced. Hunt's PP success and contributions contrast this aspect of a 7th defender.
