‘In the 2018 offseason, the Sabres acquired Hunwick, along with Conor Sheary, from the Penguins in exchange for a conditional 2019 pick. The veteran blueliner then suffered an undisclosed neck injury during his off-ice training prior to the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

However, he struggled with multiple ailments over the year, including a lower-body injury and an undisclosed upper-body injury.’
