The Cup is ours!!!!!!!

 

[CrankyBaker]

Do they include the umlaut when they write player names on the Stanley cup? Cause he comes Tom Kühnhackl!!!!

 

[wej20]

Hope he builds on last year.

 

[Giskard]

Well, nice re-sign, it was too early to give up on him, let's him play another year in WBS then we'll see.

 

[Asuna]

Put him with Malkin

 

[Jaded-Fan]

JR did predict a big move this week. Now at least we know what it was.

Thanks for catching your own mistake soI don't have to chew you out on the difference

I'm a little surprised here since I thought Kühnhackl would return to Germany, but the more Bavarians we have the better as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Vujtek]

Lets hope Kühnhackl turns out to be a late bloomer for us. Took some steps forward last year and hopefully is able to build on that next year.

 

[Callista Rhian]

Yay, we're not losing another German!

How likely is he to be called up going forward?

He might get a cup of coffee but he's pretty far down the depth chart even if he plays well.

 

[Burgs]

Last chance before he returns to Germany and is never heard from again. He did find some chemistry late last season (7-9-16 in 21 games in March and April) on the WBS 3rd line with Rowney and Uher. Hopefully he can build on that and stay healthy for once.

Said by no German ever. (non-Bavarians at least)

 

[Honour Over Glory]

He had a bounce back year and was relatively healthy. This is a good show-me contract, I hope he can prove he's worth keeping around. With a new staff, maybe he bounces back in a bigger way this year.

Eh... not a fan.

Who is a good player in your books? It seems like no one.

Actually he's a pretty decent two way player.

I would be ******** to let him go now, after the second half of the season he's had. There's no downside to this, none.

 

[wej20]

He's definitely worth another year, better than bringing in some AHL vet to do the same role.
