The reason you keep him at D is two-fold, IMO:

1) The defensive aspects of the game can be taught and acquired. Kylington already has incredible skating talent and a familiarity with the position. A very late 2nd round pick defenseman with holes in his defensive game are not all that uncommon nor tragic.

2) If you can teach a player, who is already gifted with immense offensive talent, to be competent defensively, you have the ultimate game-changer on the back end. I think Kylington will always tend toward the offensive side of the game, but if he can acquire the skills and mindset to be responsible at both ends of the rink...one word: watch out.
