[The Athletic] What I saw at Sabres rookie camp: Jiří Kulich ‘blew the doors off’ the tournament

> Now Kulich has to put it all together against NHL players. That’s what is going to be necessary to steal a roster spot during camp. There aren’t a lot of spots up for grabs. Depending on what happens with Peyton Krebs, who still hasn’t signed as of this writing, Kulich would have to push one of Jordan Greenway, Nicolas Aubé-Kubel, Beck Malenstyn or Sam Lafferty out of the lineup. That’s a tall task in what will be a short training camp window. The team can bring 27 players to Europe, so Kulich could hang on the roster for the later part of training camp, especially since the team will be in Czechia, Kulich’s home country.
The whole article is worth a read—a really good roundup on the prospects. I can see some of these guys making their way to the NHL over the next couple of seasons.
If anything we have some serious pieces when the injury bug hits unlike any time since mid 2000s let’s go
He’s not going to push anyone out of the fourth line and honestly i wouldn’t want him there, not his game. I would have him on that 3rd line bumping Greenway. As much as i like Krebs, i think,for his sake you have to trade him.
Add Kulich to Buffalo and trade Krebs. Problem solved.
