You can criticize Treliving for other moves (and I have)yet not care much about Brett Kulak.
Monteal wouldn't even take him for free. The entire NHL had a chance to take him as a "gift" 24 hours earlier with no takers, none, zero, zilch. The Habs shipped out unwanted contracts back to the Flames for the exchange, after waivers, refusing to take the gift Brad Treliving offered. Kulak then spent the next month or so in the minors before being recalled and finding his game in Montreal.
Good for him, that happens. It's not something I'm overly worried about.
