Regarding that Kylington most AHL points as an 18 year old defenseman stat - sounds way more impressive than it actually is.

According to this tweet - https://twitter.com/coreypronman/sta...11080679493633 - there's only been six 18 year old d-man in the AHL since 1992. Of those six - only two went on to have NHL careers - Lindholm and Voynov.

I mean its better than being kicked in the face, but if you were super elite you'd be in the NHL and everyone else would be back in juniors or their home country playing.
