Oliver Kylington
Everyone’s been curious about how the 18 year old has fared so far. I hate to be the bearer of obvious news, but he looks like an 18 year old in a men’s league.
He has a lot of rough patches in his game and they’re almost exclusively situated in his own zone. It’s unfortunate because Kylington has shown flashes of brilliance and creativity when his team’s on the attack, that is, if he can get into the other team’s zone to work his magic. He tends to spend far too much time defending, which is why Huska deploys him in the offensive zone quite a bit.
It hasn’t been pretty for Kylington, but he’s obviously going to get a longer leash than most because of his ceiling and age. Let’s talk about him in December/January when we have a greater sample size. In my experience rookie defenders tend to “get it” around that time.
