Last off-season the Carolina Hurricanes brought in some depth players like Paul Stastny, Derek Stepan, and Ondrej Kase to help fill out the bottom lines for depth.
The latter was more encouraging than the first two in the potential for contribution in the season but 11 minutes and 2 seconds later, Kase’s career in Carolina is now over.
The season before, Kase had a solid season with the Toronto Maple Leafs registering 14 goals and 13 assists. Playing in 50 games, the former Anaheim draft choice is always a risk for injury. 66 games is the career high in games played for a season.
