I want to start out this piece by acknowledging that it’s purely speculative and that I have no real information on this whatsoever. It is merely a combination of circumstances and my opinion on it.
When Oliver Kylington was drafted by the Calgary Flames with the 60th overall pick in the 2015 draft, many were celebrating what seemed to be a steal by Brad Treliving. He had been projected in some draft boards to be a first round pick, so grabbing him late in the 2nd seemed like a solid move.
For the most part it has been a decent move, Kylington has dressed in 87 games for the Flames with only nine players drafted after him having dressed for more.
