Tanking in your draft year mean a need to prove people wrong about your shortcomings in your Draft+1 / Draft+2 years if you want to continue to be considered a top 100 prospect at that point in time. That is only fair and it applies to Kylington, he has to show progress in Draft+1 and then Draft+2 not just stagnate.
Examples:
Cam Fowler (made NHL in Draft+1)
Ryan Getzlaf (increased production 57% in Draft+1)
Brandon Saad (increased production 85% in Draft+1)
Filip Forsberg (earned NHL callup in Draft+1, longer callup in Draft+2, was calder candidate in Draft+3)
Anze Kopitar (transitioned well to SEL in Draft+1, High-level NHLer by Draft+2)
