Zuccarello has lead his team in scoring most recent years, is a strong two-way player and goes in the dirty areas but is small. Is 31 and looks like he has a lot left to give, outside of some injuries this year.

Kunitz has been a passenger for years, has 3 points this year and is 39 and done.

Lazy reporting, "guys like that, you know professional hockey players"

One is a really good player who has been leading his team in scoring for the past few years, is small but can play a gritty game and win puck battles.

The other has been on a massive decline for the past 2 years, has only 3 points in 30 games played this year and is now 39 years old and done like dinner.
Could it be that the Flames are looking for a top/middle 6 guy like Zuccarello AND a depth veteran winger like Kunitz?
