Big revelation by Nicolas Aube-Kubel on the Toronto Maple Leafs
Washington Capitals forward Nicolas Aubé-Kubel was interviewed by the guys at The Blue Pocket this week and he made a shocking revelation.
The unrestricted free agent this summer received a call from Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe to convince him to sign with the team and that he was going to put him on a third line.
But it didn't work out the way he thought it would:
"[Two days after] they signed me, they signed Calle Jarnkrok, another right winger. He's a really good player. When I came [to camp], he was the one playing on the third line, he had the power play.
I didn't get any shorthanded time, I played on the fourth line.

Finally, after six games with the Leafs, he was placed on waivers and claimed by the Washington Capitals.
Since then, everything has been going well.
In 19 games this season, he scored six points, including two goals.
