Sabres' Matt Hunwick Expected to Miss Season

Sabres' Matt Hunwick Expected to Miss Season

August 28th, 2019 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres defenceman Matt Hunwick is expected to miss this season due to a neck condition that bothered the 12-year veteran for much of last season. General manager Jason Botterill based Hunwick's prognosis on off-season medical ev...
Will Grzelcyk Learn From Former Bruins?

Will Grzelcyk Learn From Former Bruins?

August 3rd, 2018 This offseason, the Boston Bruins signed Matt Grzelcyk to a two-year deal worth $1.4 million annually. The contract seems to state "prove yourself and a payday will follow." The defenseman's performance to this point has already proved one thing, however - the Bruins' bad luck with young, puck-moving defensemen may soon reach its...
Sabres Trade for Speedy Sheary

Sabres Trade for Speedy Sheary

June 28th, 2018 While trade rumors continue to swirl around Buffalo Sabres Ryan O’Reilly, and Rasmus Dahlin fandemonium begins to ramp up at the team’s development camp, general manager Jason Botterill made some news of his own Wednesday morning. The Sabres' GM acquired Conor Sheary and Matt Hunwick from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional...

June 27th, 2018 The Pittsburgh Penguins have sent forward Conor Sheary and defenseman Matt Hunwick to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2019, the Penguins announced Wednesday.

Penguins: Cole or Hunwick?

Penguins: Cole or Hunwick?

February 16th, 2018 On Jan. 25, Ian Cole knocked Matt Hunwick off the Pittsburgh Penguins’ roster with his return from a seven-game stint as a healthy scratch. In the eight games since, he’s had four assists and is a plus-8. His performance in this past stretch is evidence enough for the Penguins that Cole, and not Hunwick, should be the defender to...
Ian Cole Belongs in Penguins' Top-Six

Ian Cole Belongs in Penguins' Top-Six

January 26th, 2018 Matt Hunwick, upon signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins this past summer, seemingly fit the exact mold you'd expect from a depth defenseman under Mike Sullivan. He's a solid skater, a good puck mover and responsible enough to flank a stay-at-home individual like his current partner Jamie Oleksiak. Unfortunately, there's been more bad...
Penguins Blue Line: Hunwick vs. Pouliot

Penguins Blue Line: Hunwick vs. Pouliot

July 10th, 2017 Free agency left the depth of the Pittsburgh Penguins' blue line pretty bare last week, as Trevor Daley, Ron Hainsey and Marc Streit all left in free agency. But heading into 2017-18, general manager Jim Rutherford couldn't be more confident in his defensive core. Of course, getting back Kris Letang will exude confidence in anybody....

July 1st, 2017 The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed defenseman Justin Schultz to a new three-year extension, brought in defenseman Matt Hunwick for three years and signed backup goaltender Antti Niemi on a one-year deal.

3 "Not-so Wild" Free Agent Candidates for the Wild

May 17th, 2017 The Minnesota Wild and their general manager, Chuck Fletcher, have said that roster changes will be coming this summer. Fletcher has no plans to shake up the team in big ways, but we should expect to see some new faces in a Wild sweater next season. Fletcher has been known to make plenty of moves at the trade deadline, as well as free...

Pittsburgh Penguins: 3 Fitting Offseason Trade Targets

June 24th, 2016 Jim Rutherford and the Pittsburgh Penguins should have a fairly uneventful offseason. Except for the whole Marc-Andre Fleury situation of course. However, with the NHL salary cap officially set at $73 million, filling out the few remaining spots on this roster could be a challenge. According to CapFriendly.Com, the Penguins are...
