Brett Kulak is a great story. This is a kid who spent the majority of his 2014-15 toiling away in the ECHL, the victim of a numbers game. But he got called up to play in the final, albeit meaningless, regular season NHL game of that year - and he kept it up, actually making the Flames' 2015-16 opening roster.
Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, though. After all, Kulak was a fourth round pick.
