So, I don't hate this value wise, but this does nothing for Carolina. Kubalik isn't good enough defensively to get a major role, but even in a minor role, is he better than Teravainen at 3 LW? Or Bunting? Probably not. On the right? Maybe? His totals may be comparable to someone like Stefan Noesen... more defensemen is the last thing the Canes need and they cannot send Thomson to the AHL because they have no AHL affiliate. Chatfield and the pick are probably on the table, but this doesn't make a *ton* of sense
