Kylington and Andersson have been good, but they just are not fully filled out size-wise yet. It’s been more noticeable as these games get tighter and tougher.
Need to shore up physicality if they want playoff success...

Tarength of that pairing should be puck retrieval and in theory they should be hemmed in less because of their puck skills. You compromise on size but gain more offence and beat the forecheck more often. Lately they are turnover prone though and its a real vulnerability I agree.
Glad the flames are investing time in them though, think it pays off long term (ignoring the crappy expansion draft)
