Player Discussion Luke Kunin

[SEER]

Congrats! Soild player..

 

[Circulartheory]

I'm a very risk-averse person so when I see a player already producing in college as a top line forward on his team and as a true-freshman, it gives me tons of hope!

Checks all the boxes... NCAA player, leadership qualities, center, goal-scorer.

[Granlund 64]

Looks like he has a hell of a good shot.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Of those 19 goals, nine of them came during the first or last-minute of the period, which led the NCAA’s.

Booyakasha!

Another small C.Just what the good doctor ordered.

2 hideous pics in consecutive years,great job chuck

Love having a team full of versatile forwards - Granlund, Coyle, and now Kunin can play both center and wing.

I like everything I've read about this kid so far.

Guessing the Wild probably liked that he's a R-shot Center, captain of WJC, that put him above Bellows.

didn't realize he was a center to boot - or wjc captain.

Like this pick even more.

To be fair, he's plays a high energy game so he is used to the physical game. He's also projected to be around 200lbs but with speed (something that holds Granlund back).

Scored more goals in college than Tuch ever did, better Pt/game than Tuch too.

I haven't seen him play but I'm optimistic.

And he did all that playing for a garbage team.

Sounds like the Wild. Leadership > skill. (not that we had the opportunity to choose Matthews/Tkachuk)

You don't clomp in 19 goals as a draft eligible college hockey player.

Who would you have taken this year and last?

I think the leadership/size is what they use when they have two players they rank closely. Kunin has it, Bellows doesn't. Same size. I'm not upset with this. Kunin is a skilled player as well.

From Russo:

Don Granato said all #mnwild fans need to know about Luke Kunin is he had Luke captain an U-18 team that had Auston Matthews/Matthew Tkachuk

Yeah I'm okay with this kid despite the fact he's a Sconnie.

Checks all the boxes... NCAA player, leadership qualities, center, goal-scorer.

Right handed.

[keppel146]

Kunin's gotta be a better skater than bellows so that's good

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

I really like this pick. In fact I haven't been this excited about a draft pick since Matt Dumba.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Gotta watch some *barf* Wisconsin games next year.
