Canes pass, no need for Dadonov. If they were going for a winger, they would go for a scoring winger for the top 6.
Saying Bear doesn’t have value is just a farse. Yeah he has been scratched, but that’s kind of what it means for there to be a 3-man rotation on a d pairing. Each has their strengths and they each bring something different to the lineup. Smith brings physicality and pucks to the net. Cole brings leadership and experience, and not to meant blocks. Bear brings physicality and blocks. Canes are just using that rotation to get the most favorable matchups.
