The Penguins should just say no to Chris Kunitz in 2018

Last week, Tampa general manager Steve Yzerman announced as part of his remarks that the Lightning weren’t interested in bringing back veteran forward Chris Kunitz next season.

The dots are already being connected for a potential return, as covered here last week with Kunitz being open to re-joining the Penguins.

Jason Mackey of the PG has info that the interest is reciprocated by the team, assuming they can figure out salary cap considerations.

The Penguins do indeed have legitimate interest in bringing back former left wing Chris Kunitz, but anything they might do is contingent on creating additional salary-cap space, a source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Sunday afternoon.
