It is very hard to see what they are basing this on.
The coaches in Sweden, that would have a vested interest in scouting him extremely closely, do not see him as one of best 8 under 20 D-men in Sweden.
What would the Swedish coaches have against Kylington that they don't see him like Hakan Loob sees him?
Even Loob is a bit schizophrenic in his evaluation of Kylington
followed by the obvious question why was he moved to a lower level in Sweden:
Has there ever been an U20 Swedish D-man drafted in the top 2 rounds that didn't play for the U20 team at the WJC?

Freeway said, either here or his blog, that the reason Kylington won't attend the World Junior camp in August was because AIK training camp and preseason is around the same time.
Also, Kylington was selected for the team last year but didn't play because of injury. He is eligible this year and also next year so saying hasn't played in the World Juniors for Sweden yet isn't a closed case yet.
Again, selected last year but was injured.
Eligible this year.
Eligible next year.
