Kulak in the top 4 for a short stint is fine, but he has shown that he isn't ready for #6 regular duty night in and night out.
Like it or not, losing Wideman and replacing him internally at the moment makes the Flames worse. Maybe next season. Even then it is doubtful. Flames are likely to make a move to solidify their top 4 in the off-season after the expansion draft, not before. Flames trade Wideman before then only if they are out of the race.
