Avalanche claim Dryden Hunt off waivers

As expected, Dryden Hunt did not clear waivers. Hunt was claimed by Colorado today, which is another example of a well run team making a low key shrewd move.

Since the Rangers play Colorado on Tuesday, we can bet the house that Hunt will score. That’s usually how it goes for former Rangers playing against them for the first time.

Hunt was a solid fourth liner, but with Jimmy Vesey perhaps packing a little more offensive punch, the Rangers chose Vesey over Hunt. They still have some fine injury replacement options, so while this is a loss, the Rangers have the bodies to manage.
