Was wondering if Alex Barre-Boulet was going to be waived. Guy has a lot of skill. Hasn't put it together at the NHL level. Similar situation to Matthew Phillips, only without the size issues. Definitely worth a look if you're in need of more skill. Would take him over Hunt in a #4 C role, although Barre-Boulet is a guy that will sink or swim with a top-six role and isn't well suited for bottom six minutes. But it is hard to overlook a guy that has been dominant offensively in the AHL.
