Guess you haven't heard of pro scouting. Teams have scouts that watch the AHL and evaluate the players there. If they don't have scouting reports on Brett Kulak from the last season then their management and scouts are incompetent. I'm going to assume they aren't incompetent. You massively underrate how much knowledge teams have of the players in other team's organizations. Not to mention some of the scouts that VGK employs will have seen Kulak in his draft year. Some will have watched him later on in the WHL. Some will have watched him in the AHL. Probably some scouting reports were filed on his play in the NHL as well.

Kulak would be the worst pick of the expansion draft? Far from it IMO. Kid has upside to be a 4-6 dman in the NHL. Even the chance at that has some good value.

If VGK doesn't have a good book on guys like Kulak then they are failing at their jobs.
