Forgot he was still in the NHL.

What year is it?

 

[DCDM]

Ehh pass

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Been there, tried that, not doing it again.

 

[PensandCaps]

He's beyond done. Like not even an option to be a 13th F.

 

[God King Fudge]

Yeah he was really bad with Tampa. I don't know why anyone would give the guy a look right now.

He was fine during the regular season he disappeared in the playoffs. The one main reason they got him for, Playoffs. Did not show up.

 

[Volica]

He mentions Calgary. Who are you even sitting for him? Does nothing for the team.

 

[super6646]

Why would we need Kunitz? I guess he could use his 5th cup ring I guess?

 

[Kevin Musto]

I'd take pretty much any kind of pick for either Kunitz or Hayden

 

[Hawkaholic]

Kunitz has been playing a little better lately, but take that with a grain of salt as he probably just looks good compared to the other crap depth players in Chicago.

Other teams can literally have Kunitz, maybe a late round pick for Hayden.

 

[Esq]

Kunitz can be had for a conditional seventh in 2058. Condition is that Kunitz wins the Conn Smythe every year between now and then.

I'd prefer to keep Hayden.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

He does literally nothing out there. Used to in a PITA the play with, scrap in the dirty areas, lay hits and score goals.

Now it's nothing but fly bys and dumping the puck at the blue line

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Cup rings aren't some sort of magic rings that make you a better hockey player when needed.

Kunitz is useless. He was still able to do some positive things for the Pens but that was it.

 

[K Fleur]

Kunitz, in 2019, is useless to any real Cup contending teams

 

[Jeti]

I thought he retired a couple years ago

 

[Lays]

I really liked Hayden too like 2 years back, thought he could be the perfect bottom 6er
What’s up with him? Just not NHL caliber or do you think he has a future with a change of scenery

I think most Hawks fans thought the same of Hayden. I did even last season. He just hasn't performed this year when this really should've been his season to break out. Admittedly he's not getting a lot of playing time here but he also hasn't warranted it. He's young enough where a change of scenery could certainly help.

His skating isn't great. Always seems off balance and loses edges. Does simple things well and protects the puck and tries to drive to the net. Just no playmaking ability, vision, or finish. Pair that with his poor skating and balance, he doesn't really provide much upside out there

Yikes

 

[Rich Nixon]

Used to in a PITA the play with, scrap in the dirty areas, lay hits and score goals.

So if you put him in a pita, do you think he'll be effective again?

What's he got to lose?

I could see a Kunitz for Garrett Wilson trade
