The Golden Knights have traded defenseman Brad Hunt and a 6th round pick for a 5th round pick in the 2019 Draft. The Wild have multiple 5th round picks (their own and Washington’s), Vegas will get the better pick.
The roster now sits at 22 with Smith, Carrier, and Subban on IR. https://t.co/FTTqltk2iA

For those asking, is this signaling an incoming #Brannwagon, the answer is probably no. This is almost certainly a move to open up a spot for the guys on IR. (That being said, you have to be crazy to think I'm not going to ask about Brannstrom tomorrow at McPhee's presser.) https://t.co/FTTqlt2rr2

Should have been Merrill. Going to miss you Mr. Hunt!

Hunt is on an expiring contract and making half as much as Merrill. He was easier to move and if you put him on waivers, you risk losing him for nothing. It is still a business.
