Mete is waiver exempt on one hand and the LD is getting crowded.

But Kulak is not better than Mete. The lines are also kinda messed up

If it comes to overall abilities, maybe you're right. But Kulak/Reilly are better shutdown Ds and (as already mentioned by SCGLisme) Mete is waiver exempt.
Can't see lines are messed up...where, why?
In an ideal world you would get Alzner's and Weise's contracts off the book. But while this will not happen the idea was strengthen top 4 D and add a young player that may become a potential steal. If it doesn't pan out, you're not stuck with an overpaid veteran.
In addition, I think a full season w/ Mete-Juulsen in the AHL will help both getting desperately needed consistency. Have to admit that I don't feel very confident about Mete as a reliable future top 4 D. - But may the Hockey Gods prove me wrong!
