MATT HUNWICK - Defenseman - 33 - $2.25MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 6/25/19
Hunwick is an example of a defenseman who the game has simply passed by. At this point in his career, Hunwick lacks the speed, puck skills, and shot to make an impact offensively. To go along with that, Hunwick isn't strong enough, instinctual enough, or quick enough to make an impact defensively. His positioning is poor, he struggles to reliably win battles for loose pucks, and has pretty substantial injury concerns. Isolated impact metrics bear out these points, indicating that Hunwick is a very poor defender and a negative presence on offense. At this point, Hunwick is, at best, a veteran #7 defenseman, but given his injury concerns and bloated salary, he should not be on an NHL roster.
