Trent Hunter had his arbitration hearing this week and he managed to snake a 1-year, $1.55 million deal out of the process and will remain in the organization for at least one more year. He should qualify for Unrestricted Free Agency next summer.Hunter, is at best, a borderline pool player. He finished with 35 points last season, ranking 172nd among all forwards. He might be a guy that loses out to some of the younger talent coming into the pool this Fall, which may get him overlooked. For the Islanders, he'll prove to be a third line player who does manage to provide some secondary scoring every once and a while. He did notch 20 goals for the Islanders, which is pretty clutch.
