Boston Bruins B's Recall Karson Kuhlman from Providence

[Saxon Eric]

GET THE DUCK BOATS READY!!!!!

You're early,2020

 

[BigBear83]

so for all you pbruins season ticket holders... did he play much with frederic?.. did their seem to be any chemistry? while i feel frederic isnt ready, he has actually been noticeable the last few games.. feel like a nordy-frederic-kuhlman could be a viable 4th line option?

 

[rocketdan9]

What? he's the fastest dude down there

What about E-W skating?

I mean Gemel Smith is also fast

We will have to see what Kuhlman can do...if he gets a chance

Skating isnt an issue
Good test for him even if he doesn't play

It could be someone is traded before or during the weekend.

So happy for Kuhlman. Kid has worked his ass off. Does the little things right. Playing his best hockey lately. Definitely deserves the callup.

I'm not expecting much impact at this point but all these other things are true.

Another college player? Yipeeeee! I wish him luck.

 

[neelynugs]

he's pretty impressive, especially for a guy they got for free. i think he's a lock for the team next year,
based on how he's played this year. wheels, details, enough skill to maybe play 3rd line eventually,
and a great kid. would've liked to see senyshyn get a look, but hard to argue with kuhlman.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

And a +40 in his four years at Minnesota/Duluth.


Also manages to stay out of the penalty box. (Watch, now, he gets called on his first shift).

So he's soft, eh?

Another American college player.

Another American college player.

I imagine the next time the NHL goes to the Winter Olympics Team USA might have 3-4 Bruins and most of the Dcore.

Yeah, you think they would have learned that you can’t win with NCAA guys. I mean look at that last Pens Stanley Cup team. They only had Kessel, Guentzel, Rust, Sheahan, Sheary, Bonino, Cullen, Rowney, Wilson, Kunitz, Schultz, Dumolin, Cole, Hagelin and Oleksy as NCAA guys. Did I miss anyone?

How about last year. Five best players on that Caps team were two Russians and a Swede who developed overseas, an NCAA American and an American who spent two years in the USHL and then one in the OHL.

The world is a changing. Try to keep up.

Was my post negative? Try to keep up.

 

[BruinDust]

With Kuhlman's debute, the Bruins must be up there in terms of signing and developing the most NCAA free agents and having them appear in the NHL.

Krug, Miller, Kuhlman, Acciari, Vatrano, Clifton. Czarnik. That's 7 guys, I might be forgetting some.

 

[BMC]

Welcome to Boston

 

[nfld77]

really??

from what I saw in pre season ... he looked no quicker than Acciari

I also heard on several occasions Kuhlman is a very fast skater..Personally I've been waiting all season for this guy to get his call..He's a little older than most of our call ups as he's 23 so I would love to see him play right away..

 

[nfld77]

maybe his decision making is at a high level now

all in all, would like to see him get in a game or two. Sit Nordstrom or Backes

Rocketdan, maybe it's best not to mess with the 4th line but what would you think of sitting Acciari, Moving Frederic or one of the other 3rd line guys down to 4th line.

Nordtrom-Kuhlman-Backes
Wagner-Kuraly-Frederic.

That's IF Frederic can play wing, if not switch with Kuraly or just move Backes or Nords..I do think Acciari has been a positive physical presense of late, maybe playing his best hockey of the season, so maybe it's an unpopular choice BUT I've been waiting all season for Kuhlman to get his call up..I firmly believe he's a keeper and if he's given a decent opportunity, he wont see Providence anymore this season. Over optimistic?? I generally dont be on majority of call ups but I have loved his game since preseason. He's 23 years old, same as Pastrnak{I think} and this kid is rearing to strut his stuff!!

 

[nfld77]

Maybe Nordstrom?

Karson is fast, strong leadership, strong defense/PK. Seems like his offense has been a bit more than expected this year.

9 goals past 20 games..

Better not be Kuhlman without even having a look at him..

With all due respect to your opinion sir but honestly I dont see the purpose in bringing him up just to watch the Bruins as a spectator. All the while, he'll be missing out on the weekend games for Providence. Yes, I guess it would be a nice change for him to practice with the team, but he did all that this past fall. If they're gonna call him up, I really do believe it would be more of a letdown if he see no action at all.

As I posted earlier, I've been waiting since October to see this kid play after seeing him in preseason and honestly believe he's a keeper and may very well be the best we have in Providence. Cheers and as always GO BRUINS!!!

Makes up for the first 100 years of 99% Canadian players

glad we have a new Colby Cave

Or, in baseball, first 100 of Americans. Times are a’changing. These are becoming international sports. Even b-ball and football are recruiting foreigners.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I trust Saxon Eric on this guy. Looking forward to seeing him play.

Does this strike anyone else as a showcase though? With how many scouts have been showing up at Providence games lately I wonder if this is to see how his game translates...
