Yeah, which is why I haven't brought him up, I doubt he goes that low. But that's what I would sign him too, max. He has barely had any health issues the last 4+ seasons. Only has missed like 7 games or so total.
I think Kubalik is going to be the real deal, especially with Kane feeding him..would also try him with Cat and Strome on the right side as well....
).You have to give Sikura another year or so before discarding him. He has skill ... but needs a lot more muscle.
so these guys jump to this conclusion based off a 23 year old kid playing on NA ice for the first time, then having to switch coaches mid stream on him??? now there is nothing wrong with the third line as many of us have him penciled in there, but again, only 23 years old and one full season of NA hockey under his belt - I am pretty comfortable saying he could easily be a top 6 player next year or a strong third line guy...players continue to improve and evolve, he has solid hands, speed, always around the net, he can carve out a nice career for himself here.
if Kahun plays with more grit/jam to his game and crashes the net a bit more, it wouldn't shock me one bit to see him turn into a poor man's Arvidsson..
he is very smart, always around the puck - more grit/ more confidence in himself to go to the "dirty" areas and I think he could be a really good player. but like you said, and I have said prior - if he can't stand out in that way then he will not have a top 6 role here as we have too much competition and if Kubalik is coming in, you can't have a sniper like that on your 4th line..he needs to play with a talented center and fed the puck.
