Teams looking for a bit more energy and grit in their bottom six could consider claiming Aube-Kubel. However, if he clears waivers, he will be heading to the Sabres' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rochester Americans.

Aube-Kubel was selected by the Flyers with the 48th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. In 102 games as a Flyer over four seasons, he had 10 goals and 28 points.
