Thank You Mr. Snider
Maybe AK didn't think to look his direction because he came from half way across the rink to lay into him

But he's not looking anywhere except down. You gotta be aware of your surroundings and what is going on on the ice at all times. If you aren't, you leave yourself open to hits like this. I've not seen a lot of NAK play, and this is the first I've heard of him getting laid out like this, so I am guessing this isn't a big problem with his game, but it still happened. You skate with your head down, any time, you are leaving yourself vulnerable for hits like this (both of the legal and illegal variety).

NAK also skated half way across the ice. If you have the puck, expect that someone is coming to hit you off of it.

That quote sounds very similar to Ghost saying he he just had to forget what Hak wanted and go play his own game.

Love it!!!! Aube-Kubel shows drive and ambition in his statements. I love the idea of him being a little selfish and making a path for himself and forcing his way into a role. Let him force the coach's hand. I'm glad he realizes that nothing is going to be handed to him and that he's going to take matters into his own hands. I like it.
Is he legit and will he be on the team next year?
I doubt he is getting pp time since he has 0 pp points. In contrast, Lindblom has 9 pp points and Martel has 4 points. Based on 5-5 production, I think his 21 points in 29 games is tied with Varone andMartel for top on the Phantoms(Martel has played 3 fewer games than Aube Kubel).
I have always thought highly of NAK. He is a good skater and has good vision and is defensively responsible. Only part of his game I don't like is he takes alot of penalties. I always though he could be a good second line winger but more likely is a good 3rd or fourth line winger. In my opinion, he is much better than Leier or Laughton. He is physically larger than Leier and does not get pushed around on the boards and has a much better shot. He has much better hockey sense than Laughton.
Can someone who watches the phantoms comment?

He's kind of like Konecny... if his shot is the best shot, he may take it. His shots are typically low percentage. He is starting to drive the net a bit more which is good because his is a similar player to Konecny. For such a prolific scorer in junior, he is a pass first type player

TK leads the Flyers in 5v5 shot attempts/60 and is a very close 3rd in shots/60.

Sort of like Lycksell being someone's favorite prospect.
How could something like that be true.

Whoa, I'd like to meet this guy. He sounds like a real grade A, stand-up, all around great person. He's probably also supremely handsome and good at math and stuff.

Wrote an article about his fantastic season so far and him as a player in general.
Hope you can enjoy!

His play this year in the AHL has been brilliant.
I mean, I love Lindblom and he has a higher upside (plus has been a bit better than NAK the last ~2 months I think)... but over the season so far NAK has been the Phantoms best player (sans Sanheim now he is down) and the most productive EV player in the WHOLE AHL this year.
Has to be a lock for 4th line next year?
Top 6 writes itself and then a lot depends on Simmer.
Raffl Laughton Simmer
Weal MV NAK - 2/3rds of that line depends a lot on Hakhex logic

It will be hard to keep him off the roster given his AHL play. Real shame he gets no special team time though... he was a great PP+PK player in the Q.
Always good to have other options for coverage as slumps and injuries take their toll during the season

He should but he's not eligible for waivers next year and that flexibility can work against him.
I would like to see him get work on special teams. That should have happened this year, but here we are...Maybe he gets a bump with Lindblom up.

He's a lock for next year, the year he's having, there's little value in more AHL time.
And his skill package works on both the 3rd and 4th lines, so he provides flexibility.
Why he isn't on the PK is beyond me, you'd think he'd be perfect to pressure the point and generate SH opportunities.
Bottom six: Frost, Laughton, Raffl, NAK, MV?, Weal? [Simmonds or a forward back in trade]
Vorobyev will probably stay in the AHL, at least to start the season.

If he can impress in camp that might also work for us in terms of not allowing Hakhex logic to send him down with being waiver eligible

I would love to see Frost (2PPG) make it but not sure they do another Patrick. That said, Patrick has shown what can be achieved with patience. (I know they're not quite the same relative to draft position but I hope they have similar upsides albeit on slightly different timelines)
Top 6 - G Couts TK Lindblom Patrick Jake
Bottom 6 - Weal Frost Raffl (Simmer traded) Weise Laughton NAK Lehtera MV
Top 4 - Ghost Provy Sanheim Gudas
Bottom - Morin Hagg Amac Manning Myers
G - Elliott Mrazek Lyon Stolie
Lots of options which can only be a good thing
