I think the Flames would be crazy not to sign those two D prospects.
They both have strong skating, by all accounts strong hockey IQ's, NHL capable frames (Kulak still needs to fill out some) and are point per game CHL defensemen.
Being point per game in the CHL doesn't guarantee NHL success, but when combined with the other factors listed, IMO these two (along with Brodie) are the best defense prospects we've had in our system in a long time.
Negrin, Leach, Pelech, Baldwin, Aulie......none of these D-men ever put up offensive numbers in the CHL like Kulak and Culkin are.
