2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hunt had two goals, 18 points and 21 PIM in 57 regular-season outings between AHL Iowa and Cleveland in 2024-25. The Blue Jackets acquired him from Minnesota in November, but he didn’t end up seeing any NHL time with Columbus last year. However, he does have an assist, nine shots, 19 blocks and eight hits across 13 career regular-season NHL games. The 23-year-old isn’t expected to make the Opening Night roster, but he might get an opportunity with the Blue Jackets at some point during the campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets in August of 2025. Waived by the Blue Jackets in October of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Wild in October of 2025.
Snagged off wire
Hunt was picked up off waivers by the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hunt has appeared in 13 regular-season NHL games in his career, all for Minnesota, as he returns to the team that selected him in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft. The acquisition of Hunt from waivers doesn't bode well for Jack Johnson turning his professional tryout into a permanent NHL contract.
