3. Kylington's Status for 2015-16 Still Unknown

We may not know any more than we knew before about where Kylington will play this season, but what we do know is it is not necessarily a certainty that he will be back with AIK, which is where he apparently is under contract.

Kylington had three stops in 2014-15. He played in Farjestad with their junior-aged team, spent time with the big club in the Swedish hockey league, then was loaned to AIK, which is a team that plays in Sweden's second division.

By Canadian lingo, you could essentially say Kylington played some major junior, NHL and AHL last year.

"I'm going to talk to his representatives. Right now, he has a contractual obligation back in Sweden. We'll see if there are any other options," said Treliving. "We wanted to spend some time with him here this week and then circle back and see where it goes over the next few days."

It's about as clear as mud right now.

“Once you’re under contract, you’re under contract. You’d have to be released from your current agreement (in order to sign a new contract). You can’t be under two contracts, so that’s No. 1. 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. There are some webs to it.”

Adding to the intrigue was a couple weeks ago, Kylington was selected by Brandon in the CHL Import Draft. On Wednesday I spotted Wheat Kings coach and GM Kelly McCrimmon arriving at WinSport and going for a meeting with Kylington.

"Traditionally, I've always said with European players, there is no harm in them going back. In a lot of cases, it's really good for them to go back," said Treliving. "If you look at him, he's played against men for two years now. At some point, you transition to a North American game but it's not by any stretch a requirement right after to come over here. There are good leagues over there. It's a good level.

"But we'll see. A lot of it's going to depend on what are the options and if there are options, then we'll evaluate them and see what's best for him."
