This is it for me. His decision making defensively is fine. Could use some fine tuning, but overall he's pretty strong now.
It's the ability to clear the front of the net and win puck battles in corners. He's going to need a brute of a partner because he simply lacks the size to do that, and gets pushed around at times. If he adds enough in other areas, you can live with that, but you do need to find a big strong partner for him, not unlike the line combinations you need around Gaudreau (Gaudreau obviously being MUCH smaller and needing size around him more than Kylington).
