Former Bruins Karson Kuhlman waived - claimed by Seattle

[Saxon Eric]

Kuhlman won’t even make the team next year. Why some want him to get in for the SCF?

Weak on the board and overmatched against Clb. Nowhere near an upgrade over anyone on that F roster.

He'll make the team next year no need to worry about that now
Doesn't matter who they put with Krejci,only thing that matters is the first line,they show up we'll win,they don't it's going to be a Summer of what could/should have been

Kid has earned his place

2nd line RW next season for sure

 

[finchster]

2nd line RW next season for sure

I meant for the next game , but okay

 

[Blowfish]

Cool man!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

2nd line RW next season for sure

No. Christ..... You over hype everything. He's a player and has potential to be a good bottom 6 winger. That's all.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I mean, I was always on the Kuhlman bandwagon, but I never envisioned THAT.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

off the elbow and in. what an effin shot

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Didn't like the decision to put him in.

And I was wrong again.

That line was the team's best all game.

 

[BruinDust]

For all the talk about experience sometimes at this stage of the playoffs young rested legs can be advantageous as we saw evidence of tonight.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

I certainly have him in every mock lineup im predicting to start next season... will he ultimately move over to center? seems to have all the tools for it. was a good game tonight... expecting to see several hundred more good games over the next few years... looking forward to a good career thats just getting going

 

[McGarnagle]

I'm happy to be wrong about this kid.

 

[BruinsNetwork]

*Winks like Bortuzzo and skates away*

 

[Over the volcano]

What a f***ing shot. Enjoy your life kid!

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

I mean, I was always on the Kuhlman bandwagon, but I never envisioned THAT.

He played a heck of a game.... very surprise with his game.

 

[Lady Rhian]

Coolman had a great game- we were all so happy for him when he scored!

 

[prizminferno]

He woke up Krejci and Jake single handily

 

[UncleRico]

No. Christ..... You over hype everything. He's a player and has potential to be a good bottom 6 winger. That's all.

I’d prefer someone else as the 2nd one RW but if it’s kuhlman or backes I’m picking
Kuhls all day

 

[jangerhofer]

Does anyone happen to know of an efficient method of finding out whether Kuhlman would be the only player to play in the Frozen Four championship and Stanley Cup Final and win both in consecutive years? Otherwise, I'll go through the rosters of every Cup winner looking for young guys and then cross-reference any likely candidates back across NCAA winning team rosters.

 

[pemulis]

His speed was the perfect answer tonight. He turned the bigger/slower blues defensemen around, made them skate forwards towards their goal. This impacted the Blues' gap control and indirectly gave Krejci more space a few times. He was quicker on forechecks and contributed to turnovers in the O zone. And obviously that shot was spectacular. Aside from Columbus, where he wasn't effective, he has been great next to Krejci and Debrusk. I was originally thinking that the Blues' D would render him ineffective here too, but I was wrong. The Blues' D are pretty samey, except for Dunn, and it appears that Kuhlman IS effective against those bigger, heavier guys. Completely changed the tenor of that line, and the game more broadly.

 

[whitetape]

I was wrong, he did make a difference.

" And with our first round pick for the 2018 Draft the Boston Bruins are proud to select from Minnesota -Duluth Karson Kuhlman". Well of course he wasn't, first round pick went to Rags for Nash. But when he was signed, I went back to some articles about him, and the bloodlines were there. Captain of that team and others before he got to UMD. Two way player, willing to the little things and all of his Coaches and teammates had nothing but praise for his leadership and character. Kuraly and Acciari were also Captains as Seniors, and much the same was said about them.
He's not going to be a 30 goal scorer, an all- star, or a Hall of Famer. But he is a Bruin. Anyone can look at a Tavares and the like, and throw a big payday at them and hope they sign. But to keep finding these kids in the weeds, and count Clifton among them, is a huge reason why we are still standing today.

 

[BostonBruins11]

2nd line RW next season for sure

i think it's gonna come down to him and Bjork(if Bjork can stay healthy) next season, both players have a similar game.

Both players aren't consistent either.

I like him as a player...but after a handful of games, he shouldn't be guaranteed a top 6 role.
