Seems like the players that end up being solid NHLers tend to follow Brodie's progression of 1 full AHL season and another part to get the grasp of the pro game. Even undrafted Gio had only 2 full AHL seasons.

Hamonic had 19 AHL games. Stone a season and a half. Hamilton no AHL games.

The time for Kylington and Andersson is now.


And with this sort of thinking in mind, BT needs to make some tough decisions.

Fox and Vilimaki have a bit higher ceiling than Kylington and Anderson and certainly not all 4 are going to play for the Calgary Flames, so I hope BT is looking at some options to recoup some picks here or considering targeting a player at the deadline perhaps?

But I would hate to watch one of or three of Felkovsky, Fox, Valimaki, Andersson or Kylington over ripened and eventually degress.
