Andersson says Kylington is an unbelievable skater. Then stresses unbelievable again. #Flames

What a draft. Rebuilt our D pretty dang quick.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Often referred to as one of, if not the best skater in the 2015 draft.

I'm okay with that.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Amazing pick for where we got him.

Welcome to the @NHLFlames @Olliekdot @RalleA #brothers

Wonder if they know each other.

Worst case scenario, if he's somehow too dumb to play NHL defense, they can convert him to forward and have him Lombardi the puck up the ice on a regular basis.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I love those shift by shift videos.

 

[Calculon]

Well this has been an amazing draft.

Get Hamilton; pick the player I wouldn't have minded at 15th at 60th. Incredible.

 

[Lunatik]

60th is a 2nd round pick

 

[Wayne Primeau]

I enjoy this pick immensely. Good job Treliving!

 

[member 202355]

Boom or bust pick.

If boom, Kylington could become a #1 defenseman in the NHL. I envy your picks Calgary.

 

[tmurfin]

Really like our picks in the 2nd, great draft so far

[King In The North]

Going in for the Shill.

 

[Sean Monahan]

must've been awkward for him trying to correct Burkie on his name

I've watched every game Brodin and Klefbom played in Färjestad, same with Kylington and I've always considered Kylington to be the most talented of the three.

Without the off-ice problems he would have easily been drafted in the 1st round.
His skating and technique is ridiculous.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Love this pick. Would have been happy with the Flames taking him in the first round.

First I'm hearing of these problems but I would like to know more.

Doesn't seem to be able to spell his name, but can he spell intense?

 

[tfong]

We should make him forward instead. The guy isn't very good at D lol.

Would easily be 1 of the fastest skaters in the league no doubt.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

When can he come to NA? I think the sooner we can have complete control over his development the better.

Apparently he played center when he was younger.

Signed a 2 year deal with AIK.
