Have to think the Flames relationship with Loob gave them a bit of an inside track here.

Crazy to think as the President of Farjestad that Loob is advocating he comes to North America, and was that candid in his opinion of Kylington not getting a fair shake (it was his team) and development this year.

Seems to be in-line with my thoughts on Kylington. Was trying to do too much offensively in his draft year, which is hard for a 17 year old playing in a men's league, and caused some of the difficulties.

Would love to get him to North America and see a plan like:

2015/2016: CHL
2016/2017: AHL
2017/2018: AHL/NHL

How does the import draft work? Could he play for the Hitmen if we took him in the import draft? Looks like we have the 57th overall pick so he would have to fall to there.
