Avalanche place ten-year veteran on waivers

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Colorado Avalanche have placed veteran forward Brad Hunt on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the American Hockey League.

Hunt, 34, signed a two-year contract worth $1.525 million ($762,500 AAV) with the Avalanche last summer after spending the 2021-22 season with the Vancouver Canucks.

In 26 games this season with the Avalanche, he's put up six points (three goals, three assists), eight penalty minutes and is a plus-two. Meanwhile in 22 games for their AHL affiliate, Hunt has 20 points (six goals, 14 assists), 12 penalty minutes and is a plus-11.

If Hunt clears waivers at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, he'll be assigned to the AHL's Colorado Eagles.
