I'd rather just give the job to someone like Hunt at 1/2 the $.I always liked him in PIT. Would love him in FLA where we play the slower, cycle game and he can take some PK duty away from Trocheck and our other more skilled forwards who shouldn't be playing there. Also think he would be a good fit for an intense, grinding 4th line that Boughner/Tallon would love and provide defensive support for our young offensive guys. Too bad that would require letting MacKenzie go and demoting Haley to 13F, which will never happen.
Hoffman - Borgstrom - Sceviour
Mamin - McCann - Kuhnhackl
would be a pretty kickass bottom 6 considering the top 6 would be a mix of Barkov, Huberdeau, Trocheck, Dadonov, Malgin, and Bjugstad/Tippett.
Bold move. He probably won't be in this league for much more than two more years.
I neither disagree with you, or the poster you were quoting. But any 4th liner that plays a lot of PK and blocks a lot of shots can not have any assumptions about the length of his shelf life. I am a Kuhnhackl fan, even with his rough year last year, I always wanted him to get a shot on Pittsburgh ever since he was in the AHL. But any 4th liner, especially one that just came off of a rough year, should take a multiyear deal and run with it. All the best of luck to Kuhn and where ever he ends up... As long as he doesn't since within the Metro division. The main thing I hope from this is that GMJR doesn't white out Kuhnhackls name on that contract and now offer it to Rowney.Not true at all. PKs, good defensivly, has playoff pedigree and isn't awful with the puck. He's a solid 4th liner that will have no problem staying in the league.
Yet we still have piss poor Matt Hunwick, and Conor Sheary whos very streaky. While Kuhnhackl may not bring a lot and yes is replacable, I hope Hunwick and Sheary both get moved.
They listened to you.
