Totally hear you.
To me though its where a player tops out. Klimchuk is a given and will get my vote soon. But I think he's likely a third line guy. A good one hopefully, but a third line guy.
Guys taken at the end of the first round are usually in that Klimchuk mold.
Kylington dropped like a stone this year, but was as high as 3/4 in the past draft a year earlier because of his talent. If the Flames get him on track he could be a top pairing defenseman.
The warts of his fall kept him out of my top 7 but this is the point in the prospect rankings where guys start to have issues ... either upside, or attitude, or skating, or size, etc.
