Last thing Hunter had to say about it, just a week ago, is that he still did not have full range of motion in the ankle. So basically, don't hold your breath. Besides, for our Championship, Hunter was only activated for the last 3rd of a season. That worked then, and he is even older now. The shorter the span he plays, the fresher he will be for the playoff run. | Yup, I agree. I don't mind if he sits out all but the last 3 or 4 weeks of the regular season. Keep him as fresh as possible, but with enough time to play his way back into game shape and get comfortable with the guys again. A vet like Hunter doesn't need the regular season minutes as much as our young guys do. |
