Kylington is a great prospect.
I’m not for trading our defensive prospects unless the return is very, very strong. Those 4 prospects are all top notch.

Just added on to my last post about Kylington>Fox imo. For me I rank them
Valimaki>Andersson>Kylington>Fox and this is no slight on Fox. The 3 others are close offensively (very hard to compare) with better defensive games. Fox had a lot of trouble defending heavy players on the boards at the WJ’s. He’s got some holes in his Defensive play that need to be worked on in the AHL. Kylington has holes as well but I think given his time in the AHL he’s much farther along in regards to defensive ability.
Fox’s hockey IQ and passing ability is why the Flames should not trade him regardless tho. He was amazing to watch the last 2 WJ’s. Really has incredible vision.
I love all 4 of these prospects and I think all have the potential to be top4 Dmen in the future and a hell of a lot more valuable then now. We should not move any, unless there is an indication that fox will not sign. Move Hamonic or Brodie in the future. Flames have never had this type of wealth in D prospects since I became a fan. Hamilton only 23 too, Flames need to keep these guys and build their futue defense around them.
