I think our team has plenty of veterans now. We dont need one just to get one. I want guys who can play now. Preferably one our young guys who are waiting for their turn.
I've been thinking about this for weeks, but what about Matt Calvert in Kunitz' spot? He played for Todd Richards in C-bus.
We probably should have rested him a bunch down the stretch. He looked out of gas in the playoffs.
That said, he beat all expectations (which were low) in the regular season. I'd only bring him back if for some reason we knew absolutely for sure that guys like Joseph, Volkov, and Stephens are going back to the A for another year.
I like that our collective thinking tries to work around the premise the coach can't control himself.No reason to bring him back, he'd just become an anchor once again in the playoffs because Cooper doesn't sit vets, his production can be replaced fairly easily and he sucks on defense. Conacher who we have for another year would've scored 13+ goals had he been in as many games as Kunitz.
