Signed a three-year, entry-level deal with the Sabres in July of 2022.
Heads to AHL
Kulich was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
Kulich had 15 goals and 24 points across 62 appearances with Buffalo in his rookie campaign. The regular season is over, and the Sabres didn't make the playoffs, so the 21-year-old will gain additional experience in the minors.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taken with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, Kulich got his first taste of NHL action when he registered a shot and a hit over 14:53 of ice time Nov. 25, but where he really turned some heads last season was in the AHL. He provided 45 points, including a team-high 27 goals, in 57 outings with Rochester. The 20-year-old is entering training camp with a shot of making the Sabres' Opening Night roster, and even if he falls short of that position, it wouldn't be surprising to see Kulich end up with the Sabres at some point during 2024-25 as an injury replacement.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return Tuesday
Kulich might play Tuesday versus Ottawa after missing four straight games due to a concussion, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.
ANALYSIS
Kulich has 12 goals and 19 points in 49 appearances in 2024-25. The Sabres are expected to be without Jordan Greenway, Sam Lafferty and Josh Norris due to lower body, groin and undisclosed injuries, respectively, so if Kulich is out too, then Buffalo would either need to recall a forward from the minors or dress seven defensemen.
