Kulak will have to be protected (or exposed since he won't be protected ahead of Gio, Brodie, and Hamilton) for the expansion draft, no matter how many games he plays.
There could be some thinking that limiting his NHL experience might dissuade Vegas from taking him, but I doubt that's a big factor in the decision.
