Kulich, 20, has appeared in eight games this season with the Sabres, where he has one goal, two penalty minutes, and an even plus/minus rating.

While Kulich has been sent down to the AHL, his future is bright. He is one of the Sabres' best prospects, and his stats last season effectively demonstrate this. In 57 games with Rochester last season, he had 27 goals and 45 points.

It will now be fascinating to see how he responds to being demoted from here. If he performs well, another call-up could be on the way.
