I'm a big fan of both Kulak and Culkin.
Both have above average skating, decent size, good brains and can move the puck. They fit the mold of today's prototypical NHL Dman. Mobile, puck movers who can think the game well.
I'm hoping Culkin can stay healthy and bounce back. Feel bad for the kid as he got his pro career off to a great start and was way ahead of Kulak out of the gate, but two fluke injuries really set him back.
