I can't see NSH leaving Kunin exposed. He definitely started out slow, but so did literally the entire team. NSH was awful all around at the start of the season -- but like many others, he has come back and played very well in the second half of the season. He's still only 23 years old, and Poile didn't pay a cheap price to acquire him. I think NSH protects Forsberg, Arvidsson, Kunin, and one of Johansen, Duchene, Jarnkrok, or Sissons in a 4-4-1 scheme.
