Kulak is an adventure from shift to shift and game to game. It's hard to rely on a player when you don't know what to expect.
Wideman on the 3rd pair getting 12 minutes a game is palatable for now. Kulak will get his chance next year when both Wideman and Engelland are likely gone.

Yeah, we can agree to disagree. Hopefully he improves in the next few months and solidifies his spot on the team next year.
