Picking Kulak will give them an offensive defenseman they can play next season or put him on their AHL team to develop more. Wotherspoon might be my 2nd choice to get pick up.

As mentioned already, with the high number of young NHL defensemen available in the expansion draft it is highly unlikely VGK selects an AHL defenseman from the Flames. Vegas does not have their own AHL affiliate, and it will likely be a couple years before they have enough players in the system to fill a minor league roster.
It will be one of Brouwer, Stajan or Shinkaruk.
