It feels a little strange to be writing a prospect review for Nicolas Aube-Kubel, as he seems to have ostensibly graduated to the NHL on a full time basis, but the fact remains that it did take him a little bit of time to get there, and this gave us a significant enough stretch of time with the Phantoms to be worth writing about, so we’re writing about it!
In perhaps a shocking turn of events, after a solid enough start to training camp, Aube-Kubel found himself cut around the midway point and returned to the Phantoms to start the season with them, his fourth with the team.
