Which would mean Kylington has played his first pro season this season. 2016/2017 would be his 2nd if he plays 11 or more pro games.

If there is an expansion draft in 2018 Kylington would be considered a 3rd year pro player.

So would this also mean Auston Matthews would be considered a 3rd year pro if he plays more than 11 games next season since he played in an European professional league?
