wow... there are a lot of guys here that are basically calling Trevling and the Flames management stupid in talent evaluation.
They picked Andersen at pick #53 and passed on Kylington.... full stop. Then 6 other teams passed on Kylington... 2 that picked d-men.
But based on some Central scouting report done 6 months ago that had Kylington highly rated they figure OMG we got a 1st rounder. They just choose to ignore the reports that in some games Kylington was awful... a game changer ... in a bad way.
There can be some arguments made in the abstract about Wotherspoon or Seiloff or Hickey being better or worse because of numerous variables. But in this clear cut case of talent evaluation taking 2 days ago .. the best hockey minds that the Flames can muster made a clear choice that Andersen was better than Kylington.
