bad idea for a 24 year old who played one season. is kubalik worth a possible lottery pick?

You're correct on the description. I don't think CHI could match this as is, but there are a number of options they can employ. Buyout Smith saves $2M this year and Buyout Maatta saves ~$3.5M. Not preferred options, but also keep in mind that you can't protect that 2021 1st either. I don't see it happening, but its certainly interesting.

Not worth pick. Good player but only one season success. Better trade pick for Tampa killorn, proven point guy many year.
Doubt that pick ends up as a lottery with this roster, #1 problem with sharks was their goalie situation, Greiss coming in should help stabilize things, and Jones couldn't possibly be worse. Vlasic actually getting a partner that plays D will help, he thrives when put in pure shutdown role. Top 6 is fantastic and as long as there isn't stupid level of injuries, then its worth it.
Killorn is not a solution, puts up middle 6 numbers, just turned 30, and all the stats show that his teammates do better without him, consistently, while the opposite is the case with Kubalik. Easily could be a very bad trade. Meanwhile, there isn't one thing that has shown Kubalik can't maintain his level of production or increase it.
