In one of the prospect threads I asked why Kylington was dropping like a stone in the draft rankings from Top Euro skater to 18th overall and then to be available with the 60th pick and then not being invited to the Swedish U20 WJC summer camp.

Was it the demotion from the big league to the 2nd league? The combine? Was he out of shape, not being able to do a pull up?

Nobody even would guess an answer.

WJC U18 Kylington

april 16 preliminary Sweden 3 Slovalia 1 0 pts 1 sog -1
april 18 Preliminary Sweden 7 Germany 1 2 assist 1 sog +1
april 19 Preliminary USA 6 Sweden 4 0 pts 0 SOG -3
april 20 Preliminary RUS 7 Sweden 4 SOG 0 pts -3
april 22 Quarter Final Canada 5 Sweden 3 0 pts 3 SoG -1

Against the 4 games of teams that qualified for the final 8

0 pts 4 SOG and team worst -8

Outside of various players on 0-4 Germany he had the tourney worst -7 to go with his 2 assists in the 7-1 drubbing of Germany.

so on the larger ice service in Switzerland in the last games he played basically with and against the players being drafted 2 months later he was a disaster. It would have been a huge leap for Sweden to invite him to the U20 camp.

Rasmus Andersson was playing with the Barrie Colts in the OHL playoffs eliminated April 18.

Kind of funny that there was no mention of his disappointing play in the WJC U18 tourney. That was the same Tourney that in 2013 Morgan Klimchuk likely moved up into the first round with a strong tourney.
