Friedman: “I think contenders will consider Chris Kunitz” - teams also interested in John Hayden

[KIRK]

I could see a Kunitz for Garrett Wilson trade

Garrett Wilson is a small price to pay for this kind of magic . . .

 

[BLNY]

3 points in 29 games? 39 years old? Sure. For a 7th round pick.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Sure. For a 7th round pick.

Holy shit please

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

3 points in 29 games? 39 years old? Sure. For a 7th round pick.

DONE!

 

[Siludin]

Has he been a healthy scratch this season? Was there a particular injury that slowed him down or has he just lost his legs?

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

I will murder a Penguin if they sign Kunitz.

More than likely a human being affiliated with the Penguins than the actual animal.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Chris Kunitz would not make any playoff team better.

How could anyone possibly still have this idea? He's 39 and scored a grand total of 1 point in 17 games the last time he was in the playoffs.

Had a great career but the guy's below replacement level at this point.

 

[3074326]

What's he got to lose?

Nothing. He's already lost it.

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

well I'd consider him o0

[BHD]

Whoever trades for Kunitz will be sorely disappointed.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Maybe Toronto could throw Chicago a pick for them to send Kunitz back to Tampa?

 

[CanadianHawks]

Kunitz is a fit on Calgary more because of the 4 cups than anything. A young team who has only 1 experience of being out of the first round could find his experience very valuable for a mere 5th round pick and to draw in every third game

 

[VoluntaryDom]

kunitz was decent for us last year

 

[KIRK]

Prepare to be disappointed.

 

[Mrfenn92]

My guess any team that deals for Kunitz will be for future considerations or a young player on the last year of his ELC with no future in his current organization. Just a matching contract to stay under the 50 allowed.

 

[deckercky]

Every year some over the hill veterans get traded for more than they should to add grit and playoff experience, so sure, it could happen.

 

[BHD]

Prepare to be disappointed.

I'm sure he's a good guy to have around, but he his play is sooooo bad.

 

[KIRK]

I'm sure he's a good guy to have around, but he his play is sooooo bad.

That doesn't seem to bother Jim Rutherford as much as it once did . . .

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Yeah I forgot he was still playing

Any chance he takes an office job with the Pens?

 

[greasysnapper]

People are underestimating the value of being a winner. That experience is valuable, even if it's just as a 13th forward. You're in a game 7, and have nothing left to give, you have someone to call on. If I was a playoff team with a playoff inexperience (Calgary, Columbus, Colorado, for team's that are in a spot right now) I'd pay a 7th, maybe see if I could get a little retention.

 

[The Red Line]

Consider? Maybe.

Easily find a better player available on every other team in the NHL? Undoubtedly.

 

[StuckOutHere]

For management?

 

[strandvag]

Crosby will find a way to get Kunitz back to Pittsburgh.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Somebody is going to pony up like a fourth because hockey is stupid
