#mnwild have bigger issues than worrying about signing Kunin. Right guys? Right??? I've already written Kunin off as gone. Badgers would be too good having him back so therefore it won't happen.

He could possibly help Iowa with their Playoff push? They are on the fringe of making it as a WC team, and some center/RW scoring depth couldn't hurt.

Didn't he say at the draft that he only wanted to be in college another year before turning pro?

I said lots of things at age 18-20 that I changed my mind on within a year time frame. After an 8? win season and being drafted I would have said the same thing, get me the heck outta here. Now UW is competitive so that might move the bar some for staying compared to a likely year in Iowa.

Dunno, it's a big decision for a kid to make without being named Jack Eichel.

Are they wearing 4 leaf clover jerseys? It's a little late for St. Patrick's Day... 4-H?

Probably can't but... #CallHimUp

I think my friend and I would lose our **** if Kunin scored an NHL goal this season.

He would score more if the team defense is good, if it is bad he will take that responsibility and the scoring will be little less.
I naturally think he will make the NHL team next year.

In an ideal world for me i would want Kunin a full year on a stacked iowa team with players like EK, Greenway, Tuch, etc... just unfortunate next year might not allow that, But hey if you're telling me hes up next year taking pominvilles minutes im sold. Would be an upgrade even tho Poms has been pretty good.

Quicker, Better shot, seems to have what could be better instincts to find the soft areas, plays a hard game despite size and can play in front of the net... all things poms either lacks or lost due to age.

I don't think Kunin is in Minnesota next year outside a cup of coffee like Tuch this year.

Impossible to call Kunin better at this stage

Hard to say. If he keeps scoring hat tricks Fletcher will have no choice but to play him in Minnesota as soon as contractually possible. ;)
