Back in mid-January, I suggested in one of my follow-up comments that the Penguins consider moving Chris Kunitz at the upcoming trade deadline.
To digress for a moment, I’ve been a huge Kunitz fan ever since he arrived from Anaheim in a trade for Ryan Whitney back in February 2009. They simply don’t come any tougher or grittier. Or classier, for that matter.
Night after night, he’s squeezed every ounce of effort from his compact frame. Almost always in physical fashion. I’ve long lamented that if he weighed 210 pounds instead of a buck-ninety soaking wet, there’d be no stopping him.
