Absolutely not

Asplund isnt a throw away

Buffalo and Anaheim say no. Also Puljujvari is way better than Kubalik lol.

I don't see much point in moving Barrie just to replace with kulak at comparable wage on his offside. Results won't be anywhere close to what expecting. Far better off just keeping Barrie for his strong side.

I wouldn't go that far. PJ is two years younger and possibly has a higher ceiling on his side and Kubalik had a down season in CHI. But PJ has only showed one really promising season thus far playing with the likes of McJesus and Draisaitl and he was kind of a "no show" in the playoffs. Plus, 32 points for Kubalik in a down season isn't so bad. This also depends on what Edmonton thinks they need more. With Yamo establishing himself ahead of PJ on that right wing in the depth charts and E Kane being uncertain, they might need a versatile LW more than they want to bet on PJ's upside. Also, probably depends on what PJ is asking for in his next contract.

So, debatably, PJ may be better, but "WAY BETTER" is a stretch. And I have a feeling that Kubalik would look like the better player if you put him next to McDavid and/or Drai. And probably cheaper in the long term.

kassian is a cap dump
