#4 Luke Kunin
Team: Nashville Predators
Age: 24
Position: Right Wing, Centre
2021-22 Stats: 82 games, 13 goals, 22 points, 223 hits
Qualifying Offer: $2.3 million
Potential: Bottom six forward on Toronto Maple Leafs
If the Nashville Predators end up resigning Filip Forsberg, they may not have enough in their budget for Luke Kunin and his $2.3 million qualifying offer.
Kunin is a former 1st round draft pick selected by the Minnesota Wild 15th overall in 2016. He’s still young and plays a great physical and defensive game.
He would be a definite upgrade to Kyle Clifford or Wayne Simmonds on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Offensively, he’s had a couple decent seasons, but last year could be considered a disappoint.
He may not be worth $2.3 million right now but could be a valuable asset if he signs for less and/or has a bounce back season.
