Confirmed with Link: TOR signs Nic Aube-Kubel 1x$1M

[Zybalto]

As advertised.

Only interesting stat that pops out is that his 5v5 Ozone faceoff starts were only 38.05% but he had the highest 5v5 goal differential % of any regular on the team (67.96%).

 

[Rob Brown]

Avs fans are complimentary of the signing on the main boards. Sounds good to me.

 

[hockeywiz542]

A 4th line need. Nice cheap signing.

 

[Primary Assist]

This guy has a NAK for pressuring the D and forcing O Zone turnovers. Good signing!

 

[MSZ]

Great signing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Great signing. Way better than Simmonds, of course.

 

[Mickey Marner]

First good move of the off-season.

 

[Leafsfan74]

I like Dubas focusing on Stanley Cup pedigree. I liked it when he picked up Bogosian, I like it with this pickup and it made the Murray gamble more palatable.

There is simply no subsitute for S.C experience. This team needs more such players, hopefully with a North/South, drive-the-net style.

 

[AuraSphere]

Really liked this one - he was quite noticeable in the Avs run

 

[Stephen]

I like Aube-Kubel. Really toolsy player.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

Good signing. Would love to see a ZAR-Larsson-NAK 4th line

 

[crump]

gud gud.

 

[Aashir]

Only thing is..dude played 14 playoff games and had 0 points

 

[Ianturnedbull]

This is much needed. This is the beginning of a proper 4th line with an identity.

Keep Going Dubas.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Also known as;

The dude that dropped the cup

I like this signing!

 

[Nylander88]

Really good high effort 4th liner. Doesn't hurt that he just won the cup. Put up decent points for a 4th liner as well. Nice and cheap, really like this move as well. Wish we could find a way to move on from simmonds and clifford somehow though. Replace their roster sports with ZAR types.

Clifford has a decent motor tbh. Not against him at 4LW

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Love this, just wish it was a 2yr term but you have to love the buriable 1m for a fast forechecker. That is exactly what I want for bottom six. A lot of ppl mistake that desire for wanting goons or knuckledraggers like Clifford. No, not at all, it's guys like NAK who are not big, but are built solid, fast, aren't liabilities with puck, and actually finish their forechecks.

Should fit in seamlessly in the bottom 6.

 

[Nylander88]

ZAR would be a big add now. Forget 4th line....ZAR-Kampf-Aube-Kubel would be an absolute pain. Solid defensively and hard on the forecheck. Or that could be your 4th line too I suppose depending on what else is done

 

[Face Of Bear]

Robertson - UFA 4C - Aube-Kubel

If we get the right centre that can be a good 4th line

Murray has more Stanley Cup pedigree than both Bogo and NAK. He was the reason Pit won two cups

 

[keonsbitterness]

This transaction I like.

 

[TGB]

Huh. I was just saying the other week if you can't afford depth offense, fill up on cheap defense.

Only thing is..dude played 14 playoff games and had 0 points

I got the impression a dude like this counts his points in teeth.

 

[29Potvin]

Colin White would be a nice low risk at cheap

 

[Clark4Ever]

Perfect addition to the bottom six given our cap constraints.
