Bad habits, easy ice and lacking accountability are contributing factors.
If Kyllington is going to learn to play D it should be against this generation of Toffolis and Nyquists instead of the majority of his icetime against guys who aren't good enough to go Pro.
It wouldn't surprise me if they sent him back to Junior, but if they do, I think it's definitely a sign that they don't view him as being as developed as he has been billed.
I'm really interested to see how he performs in camp.

They don't have a competitive Junior league in Sweden... Every Men's team has a bunch of u20 players on its.... AIK had 13 players for some games that were 20 and under Farjestads (the higher league team has 11) including 4 17 and under 2 that played the whole season 34/35 games rather than the 18 Kylington got in. Even the good teams Skelleftea, who dominated the league had 12 players that could have been playing in the CHL.....if they were good enough.
