If he puts on some mass and matures a little, he has the potential to be a top pair d-man.
The danger though is he turns into a Bouwmeester instead of a Brodie. Which still isnt' the end of the world, but Bouwmeester always left you wanting more since it appeared he had all the tools to be a dominant D-man.

Sorry for going off topic, but Kylington is nothing like Bouwmeester. Bou was always a top pair, 200 ft defenseman. He should have been able to control games but he never did. And that always left you wanting more.
Kylington is not a control-the-game kind of defenseman. He is pure offense and should be utilized accordingly (#3-4 with offensive zone starts and easier defensive responsibilities.
