But it’s not as simple as Flames general manager Brad Treliving flashing an NHL contract in front of him and bringing the player immediately overseas.

In order for the Flames to make a move, Kylington has to be released from his current agreement to sign a new one.

“You can’t be under two contracts, so that’s No. 1,” Treliving explained. “We want to find out if there’s an opportunity for that to happen. Then, the NHL-Swedish agreement … if you’re a first-round pick, you don’t have to be offered back to your Swedish team first. If you don’t get drafted in the first round, you do. There’s another twist to it. There’s a couple of steps so we’ll see.”

Kylington, who was one of the most noticeable players at this week’s development camp, has clear raw talent. Makes sense considering he has played with men since he was a 16-year-old playing with Farjestad BK in 2013-14.

He’s also well-versed in the North American life.

Before coming in late June to the NHL draft in Florida (and flying to Los Angeles to visit friends and then to Calgary for the Flames rookie camp), he was in Ottawa for the World Junior Championship and spent some time in New York, L.A., San Diego and Chicago.
