Many of whom who will never play professional hockey in their lives?
That's what I meant.

I get what you're saying. It's not exactly true. Kylington will be playing amongst his immediate peers in the WHL. He is only 18 after all. Most of the kids he will be playing against will be the same ones he plays in the NHL when makes it.
In the AHL, he'll be playing against more veteran laden squads full of 18-40 year olds. More diverse and tougher. I still think the AHL is best for him but your train of thought is misguided.
