2023 Fantasy Outlook
A solid but unspectacular defensive forward, Kuhlman managed seven points in 47 games between the Kraken and the Jets last season. He also added just 41 hits, so there's not much of a physical edge to lean on here. Kuhlman turned his most recent season into a two-way contract with the Islanders for 2023-24, but there doesn't appear to be much room on that roster with a bottom six mainly filled with veteran checkers. Kuhlman's limited role means he's a non-factor in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Islanders in July of 2023.
Put on waivers
CNew York Islanders  Minors
October 6, 2023
Kuhlman was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Kuhlman scored three goals and seven points in 47 games between Seattle and Winnipeg in 2022-23. He'll probably report to AHL Bridgeport unless he's claimed off waivers.

December 17, 2022
Kuhlman is expected to play on Winnipeg's top line Saturday versus Vancouver, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Kuhlman will make his Jets debut in a prime spot because of the absence of Blake Wheeler, who appeared to be injured Thursday after taking a puck to his groin/midsection. Kuhlman was claimed off waivers by Winnipeg from Seattle on Tuesday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
Kuhlman drew into 25 games with Boston last year, picking up six points while averaging 12:32 of ice time per contest. The 25-year-old American may have a full-time job as a bottom-sixer to begin the year, but he'll be relegated to a rotational role as a depth forward as soon as David Pastrnak (hip) is ready to join the lineup, which should happen in mid-February.
Kuhlman, who was signed by the Bruins following a successful stint in the 2018 NCAA Frozen Four, came to the franchise with little fanfare, but his strong work at the AHL level led to the 23-year-old being summoned by the big club. In 11 regular-season games for Boston, Kuhlman logged three goals and five points, and didn't look one bit out of place at the NHL level. Though the University of Minnesota-Duluth product doesn't profile as a big fantasy contributor, Kuhlman's energy, versatility and strong hockey IQ could lead to him eventually carving out a steady bottom-six role with the Bruins.
