Kubalik missed time late in the season due to injury, finishing with a career-worst 15 points in 74 games. His reduced production can be attributed to a decline in ice time, averaging just 12:07 per game, a significant drop from his previous effectiveness as a middle-six and power-play contributor. Despite his struggles, he has shown potential, having had good seasons in the past, and should garner interest as he looks to bounce back heading into September.
