Quoting: qc14
What does Kubalik do for them that Oshie, Milano, Pacioretty, Lapierre, Miroshnichenko, Phillips doesnt???? He's not even scoring that much, 9 points in 31 games is not very good.
Depth is not the problem for this team, it's elite scoring talent. Once again unless Pinto, Batherson, Norris, Greig, Chabot, Chychrun are available I don't see the caps being that interested in anyone.
1. He's usually a 20 goal scorer with a wicked one-timer.
Last year, he played on Detroit's 1st line with Larkin and Perron.
He was also a key player on the #1 PP with the Wings and the Hawks.
We've decided to use him as a 3rd line checker instead and it hasn't worked out.
Context matters.
2. Oshie, Milano and Pacioretty are all on IR.
3. The players on the Sens you've listed are all way more expensive.
If I told you how much each of them cost, you would be complaining way more than you are right now over a 5th round pick.
4. I think you're more interested in whining and complaining about AGMs involving the Caps as opposed to building a winning hockey team in Washington again.
