Nicolas Aube-Kubel – Mats Zuccarello

This one is the hardest to identify, in my opinion. Here’s one report that says Mats Zuccarello. Here’s another one that says a bigger Brian Gionta. Or maybe Adam Henrique? Kyle Turris possibly.

Either way, it seems the scouting reports agree that Aube-Kubel is slightly undersized, but is a solid two-way player who gets back on defense very well. He also skates well, and can pop in some goals.

Without a consensus, and just generally describing Aube-Kubel as a potential hardworking middle-6 NHL wing, Zuccarello seems the most relevant comparison.
