Kunitz practiced on the top power-play unit Saturday along with Sidney Crosby, Phil Kessel, David Perron, and Kris Letang, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kunitz has been a stalwart on Pittsburgh's top man-advantage unit but the addition of Phil Kessel and promotion of Derrick Pouliot could force him to the second team. The subject of trade rumors, Kunitz produced only 11 points in 36 post All-Star games. Pittsburgh would probably like to get his near $4 million cap hit off the books, making it questionable how much longer he stays with the Pens.
