iSport.cz’s Pavel Barta posted a behind-a-paywall article in which he interviewed now-Ottawa Senators forward Dominik Kubalik yesterday, and Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff translated the part of the article not stuck behind the paywall:
When the word came from Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman that he was being dealt to the Ottawa Senators, forward Donimik Kubalik didn’t exactly fall over from the shock of the news being delivered.
“Not that I was ready for the exchange, but I knew it could happen,” Kubalik told Czech website isport.blesk.cz. “Now I’m just looking ahead.”
The Red Wings were sending Kubalik, prospect defenseman Donovan Sebrango and a future first round draft pick to the Senators in order to acquire two-time 40-goal scorer Alex DeBrincat from the Senators.
…
As he was running his annual youth hockey camp back home in Czechia, Kubalik was still adorned in red gloves and red hockey pants adorned with the Red Wings logo.
“Nothing has arrived yet, I’m using old things,” Kubalik explained. “But we got the red gloves from Bauer years ago, so here I had the same color as I wore all last season.”
Continued; Kubalik’s from Plzen, so he’s going to be skating with HK Skoda Plzen shortly.
