Also, Kulak would have spent the season in AHL or popcorn duty, if he had stayed in Calgary. He'd maybe have Prouts 13 games.
If you want a depth guy beyond your top 6, who has spent the season playing in the NHL, you basically have to get one at trade deadline. Which is why teams are always looking for them at trade deadline (and why they're always kind of expensive for what they are).
A depth guy that hasn't been playing just in the NHL recently just isn't as valuable, even if they're otherwise pretty much the same.
