Would have been better off just keeping Kulak rather than dumping him for nothing, then trying to replace him, then getting a lesser player in as a replacement for a draft pick.

Agree with this 100%.
I think it is great that Kulak was able to establish himself in the NHL this year rather than toil away in the AHL as a depth defender, BUT in terms of asset management we should have either held on to him or included conditions into the trade (e.g. if Kulak plays 20+ games in the NHL, Flames receive a 4th round pick).
On a side note, I wouldn't be shocked if Fantenberg is brought back next year if some of our bodies move out.
