It’s all opinion but in mine Kulak also has 2nd pairing potential.
There’s no reason to believe Andersson will stick in the NHL until his skating improves and we still need to see Kylington at the NHL level to similarly project his potential.
Hopefully Valimaki does hit his ceiling but if he’s in the AHL this year and not one of the Flames 6, I’d play Kulak over Andersson.
