A name many fans are familiar with, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, is causing quite the stir as of late. Whether it’s his three points in five games, his forechecking, or defensive zone play, he’s making quite an impression. It starts to beg the question, has he earned a spot in this lineup after the injury bug stops biting?
Chuck Fletcher is tasked with either keeping NAK with the Flyers, or sending him back through waivers. While there’s always the risk of losing him to a waiver claim, he made it through earlier this year. However, this was before he averaged upwards of 12 minutes a night and posted three points in five games.
