I like him a lot more than Andersson, and a bit more than Hickey (who, I would say, is the most Giordano-like prospect in the system as a guy who excels at practically everything).
Gillies will win this one, but for me it is Kylington, and then I would be stuck between Gillies and Hickey for #4. Looks like I will be voting Hickey next.

Yes, another believer!
He really is shaping up to be a star defenseman with his commitment to being coached and working on his defensive game. His attitude really does seem to be something quite misinterpreted by teams which slid him down majorly.
Can't wait to see if he makes the jump this season.
My prediction: The Flames play Wideman rather than letting a young guy take his spot in order to have him gain points and become an asset at the deadline.
Throughout the season Kylington forces his way into a bottom pairing/7th guy role while working on his defensive game at the NHL level in limited capacity. Then at the deadline Wideman is moved and Kylington takes a top four role on the team and never looks back.
