His play so far also doesn't erase all the positives that made him an early high pick favorite, and like I said, right now it looks like he's proving you and others wrong.

Kylington dropped because it became evident his defensive game was non-existent and there were major questions about his hockey IQ.
I'm glad the Flames picked him, and I'm encouraged by his development. But 40-something games in the AHL haven't made the red flags that prompted every team in the league to pass on Kylington twice just disappear.
