Kubalik, 27, is another former Blackhawk who spent one season with Detroit, posting 20 goals and a career-high 25 assists across 81 games. He was named to the 2020 NHL All-Rookie Team and has 116 points (62 goals, 54 assists) across 202 games with Chicago (2019-22) and Detroit.
Sebrango, 21, was a third-round selection by Detroit in the 2020 draft and has yet to reach the NHL. He has seen action in 135 games for AHL affiliate Grand Rapids over the past three seasons and tallied five goals and 13 assists. He is a native of Ottawa.
