I think we can sum up Brett Kulak with two words: "pleasant surprise". One of the largest risers in this year's countdown, Kulak moved up five spots from 17th last year to 12th this year and is one of about three defenceman that are expected to challenge for a bottom pair role with the Flames this season.
Well, that is, if there is even a spot for Kulak to challenge for, but that's another matter.
A BRIEF HISTORY
I think it's safe to say that there's a great deal more pessimism surrounding the 2012 draft class than say, the summer of 2015 or 2016.
