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.

I would say he would have played more than 13 games but those would probably have been games after Valimaki went down with injury and then we might not been able to see the emergence of Kylington as early in the season
