Robinson runs hot and cold offensively, which is why he's cheap depth and not an All Star. Good for Carolina, he's dead useful in other ways while he's pitchforking the puck wide. He adds quality and experience to the depth lines and while the Canes don't have the scoring depth they've had in the past,they do have guys who can play the system up and down the lineup. Plus, the only two guys they're hiding on the PK are Ghost and Blake. That's a big advantage as the grind starts to wear teams down.
The Canes also have to have the best skating blueline group in the league. The only guy who's not a burner is Burns and he holds his own by remaining stupidly athletic for an old fart. It's nice that they're never really out of a play, and a big change from having a reliable but slow-ish shutdown pair the last couple of years.
