Next up on our Washington Capitals report card series is Nicolas Aube-Kubel who only suited up for 60 games before he was traded during draft weekend. He is now a Buffalo Sabre.

The basics

Aube-Kubel or NAK for short finished with six goals and 10 assists for 16 points in 60 games. That was an improvement from four goals and eight assists for 12 points in 47 games. He finished his time with the Caps with 10 goals and 18 assists for 28 points in two years which is identicial in points from the time he was with the Philedelphia Flyers.

Natural Stat Trick

NAK finished with a corsi for percentage of 43.28 percent at five on five. His expected goals for percentage came out to 41.78 percent while his high danger chances for percentage clocked down to 40.19.

With the Bears he had one goal and two assists in 11 games. He spent the beginning of the season up there in Hershey as he was one of the odd men out that didn't make the opening night roster.

Final grade D: Another one bites the dust. We didn't get to see much of him so it was another complicated grade as we had a feeling he wouldn't be back this upcoming season. Still players are people and we wish him the best up north in Buffalo where the hockey ice is cold and the wings are hot.

We only have a few more grades to hand out so keep it locked on over here as we cover who we've got left in this series. Lot of good and big names still left to grade. We'll see how they finish once we keep dissceting the numbers. Among those left are Tom Wilson, T.J. Oshie and Charlie Lindgren and those should be some exciting ones to look at.
