Brad Hunt Signs With Colorado Avalanche

July 15, 2022 at 11:55 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 5 Comments

11:55am: The team has officially announced the signing of Hunt.

9:55am: The Colorado Avalanche could be adding some veteran presence on the blueline, as Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK TV tweets that Brad Hunt will sign a two-year contract with them.

Hunt, 33, has probably played more in the NHL over the last several years than you remember, including 50 games with the Vancouver Canucks this season. The undersized puck-mover has shown himself to be a strong seventh option that can come into the lineup and contribute when necessary, though he won’t be logging big minutes when he does.

In his 241-game career, which includes stops with the Edmonton Oilers, Vegas Golden Knights, Minnesota Wild, and Canucks, Hunt is averaging just over 15 minutes a night and has 76 points. In Colorado, he will be behind such a deep group that even when he does get into the lineup, he might not see the ice that much.

Still, for a club looking to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, inexpensive experience is key in free agency. Hunt can replace someone like the outgoing Ryan Murray, who played 37 games during the regular season and then was not dressed in the playoffs.

    Plays a squeaky clean game. 40 total PIMS over an 8 year career.

      Much cleaner than his brother Mike who really needs to clean up his game.

    Brad Hunt is the blue line version of Louis Domingue.

    If the Avs can find a taker for Girard and in turn keep Kadri, Sakic and Co. should win organization of the year award!
