Not even sure why people are even comparing this to Byron.
Byron was an impactful bottom six player. His speed on the forecheck, on the rush, and on the PK actually had a significant impact on the game. He didn't put up points while here, but you knew he was on the ice.
You always wondered, "if only Byron could finish", then we'd have a player here.
Not sure Kulak is in the same boat. He's been a servicable 6 defenseman, but I haven't seen anything in his game that suggests to me that he's on the verge of "popping".
I actually think Kulak would have been better served in the AHL last year to develop his offensive game a bit more.
