The people talking about a wasted asset are referring to the pick that was spent to get Fantenberg who we wouldn't have needed if we had kept Kulak.

You couldn't have buried quite all of it if his ask was awarded. But almost all, for sure. And after the $900K award sure. But IMO you definitely don't want Kulak whiling away in the minors anyway - what good does that do anyone?
At the end of the day, this was about trading a guy who possibly wasn't even going to make the team (and wasn't going to help the Heat if he was unhappy about a demotion) for two guys that weren't going to make the team and would help the Heat quite a bit. And I don't think it had any significant impact overall.
