Comparing prospects to stats on other teams is dumb and not just because they play fewer games but also because other teams are older more experienced and have better veterans. You compare prospects to themselves. Kylington is improving, he has more points in fewer games than he did last year and has improved in the defensive zone.

It cannot be forgotten that the majority of the Heat's top players are either 1st, 2nd or 3rd year professionals, the only top players they have that aren't in their first 3 years as pros are Frattin, Vey, Aulie and Wotherspoon and with all due respect to them, they are not star players in the AHL.
