Dominik Kubalik Signs With Chicago Blackhawks

May 29, 2019 at 10:04 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 3 Comments

As expected, the Chicago Blackhawks have signed Czech forward Dominik Kubalik to a one-year entry-level contract. Kubalik most recently suited up for the Czech Republic at the IIHF World Championship where he recorded 12 points in 10 games.

Kubalik, 23, was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Kings back in 2013 but saw his rights traded to the Blackhawks in January. Perhaps the Kings knew they wouldn’t be able to sign him, but it is still surprising that they would give up on a player performing as well as he was overseas. Kubalik destroyed the competition in Switzerland this season, recording 57 points in 50 games for Ambri-Piotta to lead the NLA in scoring and was named both the league’s best forward and most valuable player.

It’s not the first time that Kubalik had found success in a European league, as he had previously dominated in the Czech Republic recording seasons of 25 and 29 goals despite playing only 48 and 51 games in those respective seasons. His performance at the World Championship shouldn’t shock anyone, as he performed well there and at the Olympics last year as well.

The 6’2″ winger will immediately compete for a spot on the Blackhawks next season, but it won’t be the first time he’s suiting up in North America. Kubalik played parts of two seasons in the OHL after being selected 27th overall in the 2012 CHL Import Draft, but didn’t find enough success to really cement himself as a potential NHL prospect.

Kubalik will be a restricted free agent at the end of the 2019-20 season.

    Who cares the Hawks are a joke as long as the Bowman’s are around

    Disagree, at this point in time anyway. Players had to get paid and it is hurting them, obviously. I am going to see if they make the playoffs this coming year. I also want to see what they are able to come up contract wise with Debrincat and Strome and so on. Strome needs to prove he can sustain the level he played at after coming to the Hawks. There are so many things that could happen this year and I think it will be Bowman’s biggest decision making year yet.

    I used to be, and still am a big Bowman critic. But, in the past year, he’s done a great job as GM. Also when it comes to finding and scouting European talent, he is one of if not the best at doing so, I believe Kubalik will make the team out of camp and slot in nicely with the team
