My Take

Chris Kunitz is my kind of winner, the type whose name you only notice when you count the rings. Four Stanley Cups, one with Anaheim and three with Pittsburgh during its dynasty years, is not coincidence; it is the signature of a player who does the quiet, hard, unglamorous work that championships demand. Coming out of Regina via Ferris State, he was never the flashiest winger on the ice, often skating alongside Crosby, yet he was always there when it mattered. I value substance over spectacle, and Kunitz is substance distilled into a long, decorated career.
