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.
Are we not allowed to have our own opinions? Some people may and I think are basing their lists on who has the highest ceiling.
