Welcome Garet!
What a superb signing, brings a different dimension to what we already have. I’m glad he’s a Panther and not playing for anybody else in the league because I think he’s going to ruffle a few feathers😂

Great news this. Really looking forward to a new season for the first time in a long time.
Hunt could be anywhere from 2nd to 4th line. When I say 4th, I say it because we have so much quality that the 4th line will be a real regularly used line. Not a dump your last resorts on.
Kelsall, Myers and Hunt could be a fantastic shut down line. The other two could actually help Kelsall score more points too. A 4th line like that could still contribute 30 goals along the way.

In 2021 he got suspended for throwing a trash can at a linesman… Steelers games could get tasty again!
After years of being a captain for various ECHL teams, I can imagine he’s GG’s early choice to carry the C this year.
Will rack up PIMs and will score points at a decent rate. Again, it’s no marquee signing but it’s another player fitting the mould, good experience and of a good calibre. Every EIHL team without exception would have Hunt.

They wouldn't admit it though but every other team would take him! |

Sorry to disagree with current sentiment, but I see this signing as maybe the first mis-step. If Hunt can used like Kelsey Wilson was, let them know you are there but don't go looking for it, then his +/- say he'll be useful. Otherwise the highlights and video footage suggest he could be a loose cannon and we won't see much of him on the ice. He could be Graham's Insurance policy if the season doesn't start well, easy to release/replace (like Doty).

I get the impression that he could be a loose cannon as well, not that I mind it, but one thing I’ve been asking myself is would you make a loose cannon your team captain? |

Here is the footage is said incident (I'm assuming tits the same) and earned him a 9 game suspension |

Wonder if it was sparked by something previous ? reminds me of Mike Ware ! |

I see that as Hunt skating past DD and appearing to perhaps say something that immediately gets DD's attention, who turns on his heels, and follows him towards the boards. All a bit handbags, but could easily have got out of control. |

I’m here for all of this. About time we had some nastiness in us again after the beige last few years.
Make no mistake about it, Hunt and Gagnon will probably be banned at some point - rightly or wrongly - because of the way they play the game.
But they will definately contribute in playing hockey too. Hunt has been a fan favourite everywhere he’s been, and you are no captain on multiple teams unless you are more than a “goon”
I remember the days of Richardson winding things up in warm up, and I’m all for it

The rosters put out for a number of years now have been devoid of personality. Hockey should be about entertainment, which comes under a few select guises. Personally I can't wait to get down there to witness the potential histrionics from Hunt & Gagnon. |

Spot on - great example of a very effective role player who brought so much to the table other than points. - which these morons shouting “goon” can’t seem to understand. Having said that I see Hunt producing more offensively than Janssen so if that’s the case we have one hell of a player on our hands |

Janssen was faultless for Panthers. Played the energy/protector role perfectly. The way he dealt with the Moran/Marsh situ was particularly memorable. |
