His best bet is to get another 65 or so NHL games under his belt, and that avenue is best served by being less likely to get sent down and $650K would have done that.

I don't really agree. For one thing, it's rare that 170k in cap room ever becomes an issue. They're paying both players regardless of where they are, and so in real dollars, leaving Kylington in the AHL will save them about $650,000. Moreover, I think Kulak probably spends time between the press box and the ice, which is not a spot you want to put a developing young D with top 4 potential in - better he plays significant minutes in the AHL. So I think on this deal it's
less likely Kulak gets sent down, not more likely.
