His favorite actress is Megan Fox. Funny, because she doesn't act.

HF:

With great wheels and a motor that doesn't quit, Aube-Kubel's hard-working and high-energy style of play makes him a versatile addition to any lineup. Whether it is driving the net to create scoring chances or back-checking to prevent them, Aube-Kubel fits the blueprint of a player who can slot into many roles and situations at the next level. With his offensive talents still blossoming, it is hard to say what sort of player he will finally develop into, but he is sure to be the type of player that coaches love.

I'm really surprised the cap ceiling was set at 69M for 2014-2015....

It was projected to be between 71M-75M. Flyers are at the moment 236K over.

We will have 4.9M cap space with Pronger going on LTIR, but we still need to account for Laughton 800k, Bellmare 600k, Akeson rfa and a backup goalie if all make the big club.


That would leave us with little space... Maybe between 1M-1.5M I would think.

Moving Vinny and Streit or Grossman would give us some breathing room.

Personally, I would be interested in a few players on the ufa/rfa market: Mason Raymond UFA, Pouliot UFA, Del Zotto RFA, Niskanen UFA (too expensive).

I blame Homer for the cap crunch. The deals he was signing last year were going to put the Flyers into a bind. The AMac 5 per was a tad much

Button:
Has an offensive flair to his game and with his skating, stick handling, shot and confidence, he is not only capable of making things happen, he does so with a positive attitude and approach that screams; "I can do this."

I get the feeling he's top 6 or bust like most Q players.

Edirt: Nvm

Over at McKeen's Hockey, their QMJHL scout Rick Springhetti had this thorough synopsis about Aube-Kubel's game:


Hard working forward with excellent energy level .. keeps his feet moving in all three zones .. skates fairly quickly after his first few strides but improved strength would help him as his mechanics are solid .. gives a strong effort in the defensive zone, always looking to put pressure on the puck-carrier .. turns are precise and tight, enabling him to further pressure the puck-carrier .. has to learn to play the angles better to make himself bigger and cut down on passing lanes .. not overly creative but understands the importance of making quick decisions with the puck .. gutsy forward who goes in the dirty areas to score goals .. will have to gain a good deal of strength .. tries to do too much when the games are important and will have to show some patience.

Favorite team Oilers,

Really ? A culture of losing with high draft picks? Or the old guys ?

In Simon Nolet I trust.
