Would be nice if he got another call up to Buffalo now that they are out of the playoffs …
He has earned it
Olofsson is gone after this year as his contract runs out.Skinner only has three years left and olofsson is probably gone in that timeframe
I agree savoie is probably up with the big club next year kulich could move to wing full time next year with ostlund and wahlberg coming over and get and round out where his game is suited bestOlofsson is gone after this year as his contract runs out.
I'd rather see Kulich focus on maintaining his confidence and rounding out his game in the AHL and another playoff run, a cup of coffee in the NHL might be nice but doesn't really push the needle anywhere.

A line of wahlberg-ostlund-kulich would be fun but yeah, hoping he learned something from playing center but rather have him learn to be a 2 way winger maybe playing center will help him learn what lanes to cover on the backcheck and where to go in the zone to help break out or something but he is a winger all dayWahlberg isn't going to be playing center when he gets to the NHL. Neither should Kulich IMO.

I like the palat comparison palat with an elite shot would be amazing for any top 9Part of what I'm wondering at in their development of him is that he's played a lot at center this year, even being moved back to center when his post U20 offensive slump continued. Appert is constantly praising he and Rosen for their defensive play, play off the puck, etc... but I'm not sure I see what he's talking up. Kulich as more F1/F2 rather than having him be F3 and responsible deep in his own zone seems to fit but maybe the long game for him is to work on his defensive responsibility so he's more akin to someone like Palat than just some PP shot option.
Wahlberg getting national team time on the wing and used on the wing in Malmo makes it less likely for me that he's going to be a center too. But in Kulich terms, it would be nice to see him re-ignite his scoring down the stretch in the AHL with these last dozen games and maybe do some damage in the playoffs like he did last year.
Ridiculous.
He got 100 AHL points as a teenager.lol That is very good and rare.Love to see him back in form and sniping one after another again. Sadly this means his chances for Prague are thinning with every W lol.
