Mikael Backlund will be happy
Early morning news for y'all: Sweden's AIK announced that they will allow Flames 2015 draft pick Oliver Kylington to play in North America for 2015-16. The young blueliner had expressed a desire to play in North America, echoed by former Flame Hakan Loob, but his contractual obligations to AIK held him back.
That is no longer the case, as the team has released him according to (poorly translated) articles and tweets. Kylington has been granted the opportunity to come play in North America, whether it be for the Flames, the AHL Stockton Heat, or the Brandon Wheat Kings, who hold his WHL rights.
