Kylington needs work on the defensive side of the game and he would benefit heavily from added time with a good defensive teacher like Huska.
It would cause a small problem with the lower end prospects that are in Stockton, and might lead to someone like Ramage or Acolatse not being retained, but I think the long term benefits would out weight the hindrances from having him play there sooner than later.

It has been noted that Huska did not handle the defencemen in Kelowna but rather his assistant. Hard to say that Huska has been any good for the Flames D prospects at this point, 3 were first year guys (Culkin, Kulak, and Sieloff) and Wotherspoon only improved marginally by accounts.
Having said that, it would be nice to have the developmental coaches and Van Asten having free access to both Kylington and Andersson.
