Prospect Info: C/W Jiri Kulich, 28th Overall, 2022 NHL Draft; Recalled 11/15/2024

Studsville. I remember him getting drafted not really knowing who he was & then hearing every insider & analysts take on him & I am pretty happy about his whole game so far.

Projected for 20 or more goals in his first semi full season as a rookie is DOMINANT imho.

As much flack & I & everyone else on these boards have given KA/staff & ownership (rightfully so) I'm loving these draft selections so far. Benson, Rosens looking good, Kulich, Konsta, Wahlberg etc

That's the one thing Adams done well at, although I don't like all the choices, I'm generally okay with most of them.

Let’s hope Rosen follows a similar path.

This is tough because of obvious recency bias, but is Kulich making Tage better? It looks very much like yes to me, but I'd be curious if others share that opinion.

I think playing wing is making Tage better…so in that way yes. Being a center means it’s harder to get up ahead of the rush which is a place Tage is so dangerous. You have more responsibility covering more ice. He’s freer now because Kulich has been able to step into the middle

And playing with Tage obviously benefits Kulich a ton too. Teams are just learning about him…but they know Tage…and being on the ice opens up space for Kulich to do his Kulich things. Peterka too. Those are three quality shooters.

I still wonder how any of them would look with a playmaker in the mix but we seem determined to never find out about that.

What's his upside?
