I just noticed that a question I submitted to the USA Today Q&A was answered by RLR's Kyle Woodlief:
Quote:
Q: Are there any high-risk/high-reward players that you would feel are worth the gamble of using a first-round pick to draft?
A: Well, Kylington is the ultimate high risk/high reward player. So if you think you can solve his decision making difficulties, there's no reason a team shouldn't scoop him up if he gets past pick #20.

A question someone else asked:
Quote:
Q: How does RLR now feel about Oliver Kylington after his up-and-downs season?
A: Top five talent, but a HUGE risk. Was god-awful in many games we saw him this season. Completely lacking in judgement. But WOW! He's the best skater in the entire draft and is really dynamic with the puck on his stick. Can create just as many chances for the opposition as his own team, however. Big boom or bust type.

Best skater in the entire draft? That's high praise for a draft than includes McDavid and Hanifin.
