Then take shots at Evason and Waddell (and Jarmo and past coaches), not Sillinger.
That's entirely what it is. I like Cole, he didn't run over my dog. I don't like that our org has blindspots when it comes to certain player types. From what I read about Kunin he might end up filling a similar niche where he is just like catnip to our coaches. Earlier I commented that I didn't think Kunin would play above the 4th line, based on his results, analytics, skillset. Then I had to revise that comment when I read more about the player and it occurred to me how they've used another player like this. I suppose I can just not mention that other player but folks are probably going to figure out who I meant and come after me anyways.
inability to score
I think if you phrase is as “Kunin is a gritty player with holes in his game but he can play center and is well liked by his team mates. Evason seems to like guys like that - like Sillinger. Maybe he’ll be playing higher in the line up than he should because that seems to be Evason’s MO.” then that is fine.
yeah let's just ignore the whole "scoring lines" and "checking lines" thing that they've clearly been leaning into this season, particularly since monahan went down.If you could win championships with good locker room guys who hit hard and have 0 offensive upside we would be bona fide contenders every single year.

if there's a concerning through-line to draw between kunin (and fischer!) and sillinger, it's that those guys were high-but-not-premium picks (kunin 15th, fischer 32nd) who produced at about a half point per game at an early age, but never hit the next level and are now solely checking line guys.False and unnecessary shots at Sillinger are what bother me. If you meant it be be more of a shot at Evason than Sillinger, that is not what you wrote.
kunin 15th
peaking early
As a fan of both teams........he's bad.
With Kunin6 games with Kunin in the lineup and the Jackets have gone 0-5-1.
Not sayin' that's HIS fault......but I am just sayin'
Isn’t LaBate record 4-1 or something ?With Kunin
we've gone a swoonin'
Nah, it's Boone Jenner's fault. We were great until he came back. (ducks)6 games with Kunin in the lineup and the Jackets have gone 0-5-1.

My go to is always Ryan Dzingel. What a turd he was.Will have one of the most forgettable deadline tenures in franchise history. Right up there with the likes of Matt Frattin and Nick Schultz
