its tough to say whether Czarnik would have made a difference since he only got to play that single game.

during the season, he did have a run of games where he stepped up and really helped offset the top lines struggles.

He is a guy that could be deployed more, but you are correct in that his defense isn't that good... but iirc neither was Comeau's when he was here...

a guy like Hinze for example has made a huge impact for Dallas... and he was just a 2nd round pick. Same with Foegele for Carolina 3rd round)... both excellent skaters and guys that have some skill but can be hard on the puck and because of their skating and size they have had big impacts for both Dallas and Carolina
