That's actually really similar to the Byron situation.
No one would be losing sleep if this were Garnet Hathaway on waivers.

You've been way over-the-top on Kulak for some time. I like him as a #6 d-man but your "he might be better than Hamonic" take is up there with your "Monahan 2C' talk. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but this Kulak love puts you out on a limb.
As was stated earlier, this is a replacement level player. Every team has several guys in this spot and I'd be surprised to see him claimed.
Even if he was, I'd be more excited it likely opens the door for a player like Valimaki to be a better shot to make the big team out of camp, which I think we be a big upgrade.
