Filed under: Finally a full-time Flyer! Next up on the docket we’ve got Nicolas Aube-Kubel, who finally made the jump and found a full-time role in the NHL this season. In some ways this jump felt like it was a long time coming—Aube-Kubel’s been plugging away in the AHL for the better part of four seasons, honing his game and ultimately becoming one of their most consistent players. It took a while for him to get here, but the payoff was worth it.
He found a bit of a scoring touch, and he was able to tap into it pretty consistently.
The good news here though is that we don’t have to go through all of that, because in Aube-Kubel’s case, the shot rates and the goal differentials are all strong.
He was able to take everything that he was doing well with the Phantoms and translate that into his NHL game, and make it still work in more limited minutes, and he was able to do it consistently.
Aube-Kubel was one of the Phantoms’ most consistent players in his last couple of seasons with them, and already we’ve seen that coming through with the Flyers.
