Way, way back in 2015, the Calgary Flames drafted several highly-touted prospects. Since then, two have become NHL regulars – blueliner Rasmus Andersson and forward Andrew Mangiapane. A third regular is on his way in the form of defenseman Oliver Kylington.
A product of Sweden, Kylington played his first pro hockey at the tender age of 16 – plying his trade with Farjestads BK, the team run by Hakan Loob. A highly touted draft prospect, Kylington bounced around a bit in 2014-15 – he played with Farjestads’ pro and junior outfits and was also loaned mid-season to AIK.
