Shocked there wasn't already a thread on the most significant piece of Sharks news today.

Didn't let it ruin my day!

Won't ruin my night either!

Grier signing him to a 1 year deal below the QO. Kunin could have forced Grier to either issue the QO or let him walk. This is not a bad deal.

What's wrong with walking

What's wrong with walking

Bad asset management. Kunin will easily fetch a pick at the deadline.

As long as his ass is stapled to the 4th line I'm fine with it. If at any point short of "like 6 other guys are all hurt" we see him on the wing of Smith or Celebrini I will explode in a violent rage.

I think you may have just guaranteed 82 games of Smith - Celebrini - Kunin as our top line. Frankly, you know better and shouldn’t have brought this Juju on us all.

Thanks, Obama.

Glass half full: Boat Anchor Kunin drags the other two down enough that we secure #1 in that draft too.

Of course Hodge made this thread lmao

Regarding the signing, whatever...they don't need the cap space and it's only for one year, so might as well keep him for locker room vibes

I thought Jumbo's job was vibes?

 

[one2gamble]

He's VP of Vibes, kunin is the vibe janitor

 

[DG93]

Kunin is Senior Vice President of Grits

 

[Juxtaposer]

Let’s be honest, $2.75 x one year is just about as ideal as a Kunin contract could be. One more year to show if he’s actually a useful NHLer. If he is, then you can punt him at the deadline, and if not, you punt him next summer.

 

[weastern bias]

Can't wait for our top line of

Goodrow-Kunin-Celebrini

To end the season

 

[Mafoofoo]

Good to see Grier not make the same mistake DW made by not bringing back the captain and undisputed leader of the team

 

[themelkman]

Can’t believe Grier tried to sneak this one past us.

"I can't say enough good things about Luke Kunin. We need more Luke Kunins”

How many more could he possibly want

All of them (are there any other ones?)

Well he already grabbed Goodrow and Dellandrea.

Just to piss Nem off, I'd put him on Smith's wing.

And hopefully his mobility is improved being one added offseason on from his ACL surgery. It's not like he was the most agile player ever, and I think the loss of a step did make it even harder for him out there (especially since he's also not the highest hockey IQ guy).

Okay, I tried to be nice, but I feel like that ended up going a different direction than planned, lol. But if he does improve I feel like that contract could definitely be moved for like a 4th at the deadline.
