Providence Bruins General Discussion V

[DKH]

Strong effort tonight, 1 point out of 4th and they play the team in front of them tomorrow
Frederic and Kuhlman impressed

Maybe it’s good fortune but Karson Kuhlman is a +19 and the next guy Conor Clifton is +10

His offense the past month has been eye opening

He's taking someone's job next year in Boston

 

[Saxon Eric]

KULHMAN does he have any shot at making up to the big club?

Yes

 

[DKH]

Is he playing center ? And if so how well ? Skating ?

He only signed 2 year deal

i would pencil kuhlman in on the 4th line next year. very impressive player.

Also do you think JFK might possibly keep his spot when Frederic gets the call. Presumably leaving Frederic as the 4th line center or replacing Donato on the wing?

My understanding is that Kuhlman is a pure fourth liner, which we have in spades; do you agree or might he have a higher ceiling. Does Kuhlman have any realistic chance of helping the B's this year?

 

[GarbageGoal]

You have to be impressed at how fast this team has turned it around heading into the all star break.

Will be going tonight.

No plays wing
Skating is the best on the team
Bruins College scouts deserve credit getting him into the organization
He'll be resigned

If Frederic goes up I would assume JFK is out
Lots of P Bruins are knocking on the door,something has to give.
Today Kuhlman is a 4th liner,I do think he has a higher ceiling ,how high? I do not know,kid has it though, hypothetically he could help but there's no need right now

I am very impressed with Leach, really has the pulse of the team,possibly the best coach since Scott Gordon

JFK has also been playing RW, so he may not. I personally would rather see Donato go back down and go Heinen-Frederic-JFK. I also wouldn't mind Frederic-JFK-Heinen

 

[twominute]

who was that on the forecheck that caused the turnover?

For the time being sure,don't think they'd go into the playoffs with that line unless they sell first which is a whole nother debate

Carey

acciari is the obvious guy that kuhlman could replace, although noel plays center and karson doesn't.
a 4th line of kuraly-wagner-kuhlman would be fast and not much fun to play against. forechecking
up the ass.

Maybe Sweeney will leave these guys, like Fredrick and Kuhlman, in Providence for the year to grow their game and have some success. Fredrick is not yet at 0.5 ppg and Kuhlman is barely there and turns 25 this year. Staying the year in Providence and enjoying succes is probably best for their growth, never hurts a player to spend at least a full year in the AHL, DeBrusk is a good example.

could happen - i think a few of them will get a taste up in boston at the very least.
and kuhlman won't even be 24 til september.

Kuhlman turned 23 just 4 months ago on 9/26 so he’s young and getting better

I’m with you - reading up on DC I had Kuhlman as at the top off most impressive BUT just drills and assessing energy and he was the guy

I did see him in Providence early November and it was Cave that stood out

Kuhlman made adjustments to pro game and trending up appears

Yes I acknowledged that in a previous post, however I still don’t believe thay will be bringing guys up and down at this point and time unless there are injuries. They will make some moves at the deadline and the guys in Providence can battle for a spot next traing camp. Unless of course the Bruins get a big lead in the standings which I don’t see happening, going to tight to the end.

Yah I think he’s probably an injury replacement guy but has a solid shot as Nugs said with that fourth* line in name only next season

I have identified 1 player I go get ~ Braydon Schenn

He’s my guy and perfect fit

By the way I thought he was older as well - surprised will not turn 24 till next preseason

He’s at a good age
Excellent college player
Winner
Defensive NHL game

Could be a very good signing

An nhl pro scout told me when Tanev was available the Bruins could pretty much be in the drivers seat for most college free agents

Organization
City
Tradition

Most players have played in Boston in college or been there and Sweeney and his staff have as good a relationship with college coaches as you will find in the game

He said Sweeney is a straight shooter and comes off very well to these kids - they see him around and he’s got the school relationships

The Providence college coach in past DC could be seen wearing a Bruins warmup even running drills

Not just him either

Boston has made it a point to mine this area

 

[BruinsNetwork]

KULHMAN does he have any shot at making up to the big club?

Absolutely. He’s the definition of a “competitor” and he has the skill to boot. I personally think he’s the fourth best skater on the team behind Senyshyn, Vaakanainen and Zboril. His straight-line speed is right up there with Senyshyn though as he can absolutely fly.

Picture a lighter, quicker, more skilled and agile Noel Acciari— then you’re pretty close to what he is, IMO. He’s got some decent hands and a hard shot, but he doesn’t try and force plays or work above his capabilities. Very strong on the boards and behind the net.

He’ll be a cheap, fast, versatile, “modern day” grinder in this new skill-based NHL. I loved the signing last year and I think he’s gonna go on to have a really solid career in the NHL.

He mainly plays wing (where he’s just as effective) right now, but he’s seen ample time at center and that’s his natural position.

I've watched him live a couple times now and have always walked away impressed. A Kuraly twin.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Had Sweeney not picked up the 2 4th liners in the offseason, he might have made the roster this year.

Kulhman is a coaches dream. Great skater, strong defensive player, excellent PK, outstanding leadership skills, big game player. He can certainly be a third line player at the NHL.

I don't think he is skilled enough to ever make it in a top 6 role on a regular basis

thanks that was dogged
