A new head coach has taken over the team's helm, and former Stanley Cup champion Kubel is at a crossroads in his career.
It is the third time Kubel has been waived, and he will report to the Hershey Bears, along with five others. He posted 4 goals, and 8 assists for 12 points in 47 games for the Maple Leafs before he was claimed off waivers by the Capitals.
As a result, the Capitals will save money on the $1.225 million dollar cap hit, as it will become $75K against their cap.
Beck Malenstyn, Liaksei Protas, and Matthew Phillips might have replaced Aube-Kubel as bottom-six players. During the preseason, Philips has been a standout.
««And all it is for himis just consistency,» Carbery said. «Consistency. Can you do it on a shift by shift basis for one game, two games, three games, four games, and then string that together and not have the dips, whether it's a shift, whether it's a penalty, whatever it is, being consistent?»
Coach Carberry believes NAK needs to improve his consistency in his game before he can crack an NHL lineup again.
