Player Discussion Dominik Kubalik

[Pierre from Orleans]

Amount of Stu talk in a Kubalik thread is disrespectful

I'll take Stu over Tage right now. He plays with much more tenacity and hustle than Thompson. Thompson might have better hands and has a huge frame, but Stu is way more physical than Thompson and is better defensively.

Thompson is a rare specimen, especially with his hands, but we've just scratched the surface with what Stu can do!

Ok, here's some Kubalik news since you just identified the problem without doing anything about it.





(Apparently around the 29th minute he starts talking about Detroit).

Here is a translation that was posted elsewhere:

At the end of the interview she was asking him about the difference between Detroit and Chicago fans, he said that Detroit fans scare him a bit more. Then (roughly translated):

Moderator: I've heard you're not really okay with Detroit.

Kubalik: I am okay.

M: I mean, with the club sure, but you didn't really get attached to the city.

K: Well, it's not very likable overall, there aren't many people anyway, so, the guys also know it's not really great there. So we mostly go there just to play matches. Otherwise we were there twice... was nice [with a tone hinting that it really isn't great, just... nice]. We live 25 km away from there, so... yeah, fine.

M: So what should I visit in Detroit if I happened to be there?

K: Well there's a nice shopping mall...

Perhaps a change of scenery will help him elevate his game just a tad more.

Plus we got a renovated Rideau Centre. Does that constitute as a nice mall?

It would be nice to have a PP2 that works just a little bit better.

I'm excited to see Dom play, I think Ottawa is a great spot for him

What do the Ottawa Senators Have in Dominik Kubalik?

Dominik Kubalik isn't Alex DeBrincat, but that doesn't mean he can't still be useful.

Which is why he has to play on the right side.

 

[Sun God Nika]

If he scores 20 goals and 30 assists what would be a fair extension for him ?

 

[OgieO]

Meh, once you clear your zone its super easy to get to your off wing in the offensive zone.

Something similar to Toffoli's last deal, 4-5 years at $4.2 million aav.

I was saying Stubalik.

 

[Flamingo]

What a strange group of players.

Yeah. Shaped by deployment and linemates rather than by individual skill.

 

[Boud]

It's an interesting thought but for that to happen we need to bank on Greig making the team right off the hop and sticking here. Also need another LW who can comfortably play in the middle 6 and be a key contributor to remove pressure on Greig.

I honestly cross my fingers Smejkal or Crookshank impress enough and play well enough to grab a spot on the roster. I think Crookshank has a clear shot at taking Kelly's spot.

 

[BondraTime]

Kubalik has done very well playing only on the left side thus far. Not sure why staying in that slot would affect his ability to generate one timers from the same position he has played this far.

Here's his goals (all situations), I don't see an issue

Might lose some of those right side goals. One of his strengths is his one timer. Don’t see why you wouldn’t make the most of it and maximize the totals.

 

[robsenz]

Watching his highlights, obviously the first thought is he can be dangerous on the one timer, but he has a tendancy to fake the one timer and pass it to the backdoor, if he plays with Brady he could generate a lot of chaos in front of the net and get some greasy assists, funny enough that back door play would have been perfect for DeBrincat, hopefully whoever is playing LW can finish some of those plays, but Raymond being a righty was about to do so, we don't have a righty in that spot anymore.

He was playing on the left side for all of those ES goals, and those on the PP were on the right side, where he will be slotted on the 2nd unit right side point or halfwall

Interesting to get the perspective from someone that is not from North America about their experience in an American city, in this case Detroit. I think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence is both prevalent and overstated for some Canadians. You can live in far worse environments than Ottawa (an understatement).

Kubalik is the guy they need to trade

Huge floater


He Makes 2.5M which is perfect for Pinto

 

[redbrick98]

Thought on if there is a market for Kubalik ?

3rd round pick?


Or do we just waive him

Specifically, we should send him to Chicago. Essentially, the Hawks would be buying a draft pick - they play Kubalik all year until the deadline, then move him at the deadline for a second. Will Chicago pay about 2.2 mil in salary for what will become a second round pick? Wouldn't hurt to ask...
