He must be an awesome guy because he provides so little value when he's on the ice and yet everyone just seems to love himits kind of odd how much positivity surrounds kunin from the org and org adjacent.
He took a few digs at the internet community in this podcast. It's kind of funny considering Keegan was one of us before he started working with Sheng. Small aside, I loved @Kcoyote3's rant on Twtitter about Gushchin.Listening to the opening night roster reaction episode

But he hits people, that's always critical, right?He must be an awesome guy because he provides so little value when he's on the ice and yet everyone just seems to love him
It's really important to put yourself out of position by chasing hits in the offensive zone, THAT'S leadershipBut he hits people, that's always critical, right?

Luke Kunin is bad at every one of the skills you just describedHockey is an aggressive sport. You’re in a limited area where hitting is a big part of the game. NHL history is filled with guys who couldn’t hit or take a hit. They don’t last long.
The other night, Goose received so much praise for his points. Some of those points came because Kunin fought to be in front if the net. Some here may not understand how difficult that can be. It’s not just getting to a place but having sticks pushed on your back, arms and legs. Holding onto the puck along the boards, again with the sticks and bodies pushing and elbows and knees. It is hard.
There are players that do that. Goose doesn’t, really. He is needed for other things. Which he did. But if Kunin didn’t do what he did, Goose may not have those points.
Kunin has a lot of traits and skills that you'd like to have in a guy. His problem has always been consistency. Even the things that he gets notable praise on are things that he has a real problem doing on a regular basis. If any of those traits were unique to him and that was what he brought to the team, it'd be one thing. That's just not the case with the roster assembled as it is. There are guys, even ones like Nico Sturm, who are of similar skill level but do a more consistent job at simple things like catching passes which is what really helps players like Goose make plays. Kunin did that very well in Vegas. He needs to do it consistently and not only fight for net-front presence every so often or win board battles every so often. Those are things Kunin has always been maddeningly inconsistent on. The effort and physical plays you expect to see from him but don't for long stretches.Hockey is an aggressive sport.
