Kulak also has some good offensive skills, especially with his point shot, so he could be valuable offensively too.
I get what you're saying in terms of depth, but when you look at this list, there's no reason to not vote for Kulak above a lot of the rest of these prospects.

I continue to be surprised how, at this stage in this process, people can speak in absolutes like this.
Here are just some of the reasons why someone could choose to vote for someone other than him
- He spent about half the year in the ECHL
- He is competing for a long-term spot against a lot of other guys
- Someone like Agostino enjoyed more progression in the second half of the year
- We know the organization thinks they have "a player" in Austin Carroll
Probably more reasons. The point is when we are debating the likes of Kulak v. Agostino - I don't think any choice is that clear.
