EDGE Analysis

This transaction was just a formality to free up another roster spot for Minnesota, as Kunin has already been ruled out for the remainder of 2017-18. Although there's no update on his recovery, Kunin should push for a spot on Minnesota's roster next season, when he regains full health and completes a rehab assignment.
