I was originally leaning towards a year with Brandon, but the more I think about it, the more I want to see him in the AHL this year.
With so many question marks around his attitude and development curve, the Flames need their guys to oversee his development. Leave it up to our coaching staff to show him the way. Our AHL management has proven themselves competent year after year and are better suited to teaching Kylington how to be a pro in North America.
Skating alongside Provorov would be cool to see, but there will be plenty of young talent surrounding Kylington in Stockton. The same players who he might be playing in the NHL with a few years from now. Might as well get familiar with teammates and the Flames system. It's a system that's built for his type of game, so why not let him excel in it?
