Kubalik has only really been a top 6 forward on bad teams, though (even the 19-20 Blackhawks would have clearly missed the playoffs without the covid procedure). I think that point matters...Kubalik isn't a guy that contending teams would be itching to add to their top 6, and he isn't really the type of player who thrives in a bottom 6 role either.
If he had value as a top 6 forward on a good team, Detroit would've moved him at the deadline while they were selling everybody else off.
