Trent Hunter has been sent down to AHL Manchester.
Hunter cleared waivers Saturday afternoon. Jarret Stoll doesn't appear to be ready to come off the injured reserve list yet, but the Kings decided to demote Hunter anyways.

Trent Hunter went unclaimed on waivers.
This gives the Kings the option to send Hunter to the AHL and free up a roster space if Jarret Stoll is healthy enough to play on Saturday. Hunter has seven points in 38 games this season.

Trent Hunter has been placed on waivers by the Los Angeles Kings.
Hunter has two goals and seven points in 38 games this season. He's a serviceable bottom-six forward and we wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked up on waivers.

Trent Hunter drew into the Kings lineup on Wednesday.
Hunter replaced Kevin Westgarth on the Los Angeles fourth line in a 2-0 win over Chicago. He has played only 21 games this season as he has been a healthy scratch in 16 games. He has two goals and five points so he has no fantasy value.

Trent Hunter has agreed to a one-year/$600,000 deal with the Los Angeles Kings.
Hunter has been participating in the Kings' camp on a tryout basis. He was traded to the New Jersey Devils over the summer, who freed up some cap space by shipping Brian Rolston to the New York Islanders in the same deal. The Devils then bought Hunter out, making him an unrestricted free agent. He's a solid third liner, but don't expect him to have more than 30-40 points, even if he stays healthy.

Trent Hunter, who is in camp with the Kings on a professional tryout, has a good shot on the third line.
Coach Terry Murray has liked the play of the 31-year-old Hunter who is coming off surgery in November as he tore the MCL in his left knee. "His skating is really good," Murray said. "I know he had the operation and went through the time he missed last season. He worked extremely hard in the offseason to get himself back on top of his game. He has come in and proven that to us, that he's in great shape. I thought, last night, he made some outstanding plays on some breakouts coming out of his own end, making plays off the boards. That's as good as it gets, on four or five of those looks. So, his game has been good." Look for the Kings to sign him before the start of the season. He has little fantasy value.

Trent Hunter is attending the Kings' training camp on a tryout basis.
Hunter enjoyed some productive seasons as a secondary scorer for the Islanders earlier this decade, but he's now 31 and coming off a major knee injury, which explains his inability to secure a permanent contract from any NHL clubs to-date. If all goes well at training camp he could find himself in a checking role with the club, but his fantasy prospects seem bleak either way.

Trent Hunter reportedly has a number of interested suitors, according to his agent Brad Devine, but he has not decided where he wants to play this year.
He suffered a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a game on Nov. 24 that ended his season. Hunter was traded from the New York Islanders to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Brian Rolston and then he was bought out of his contract.

Trent Hunter's contract has been bought out by the New Jersey Devils.
The Devils freed up millions in cap space by trading Brian Rolston to the New York Islanders for Trent Hunter and they'll save even more by buying out the final two years of his deal. Hunter will cost the Devils $666,667 against the cap for each of the next four seasons. This move also makes Hunter an unrestricted free agent.
