This is where I'm at with Brodie as well. Since watching him come into the league he progressed well past where I originally expected him to. His skating has always been smooth and he's a fun player to watch (especially on his off-side as everyone except gulutzan knows).
But the trade value of Brodie as he is right now it's a great asset for Tre to use at the draft or any other point this summer and i fully expect Tre to bolster the top 6 forward group that looked flat against the Avs..
Also, we obviously don't know exactly where the organization pictures Kylington fitting into the roster going forward but personally, I believe if given 3rd pair minutes starting next season along side a more defensively responsible partner who can hit, Kylington has the potential to turn into something along the lines of Brodie in the future, not to say any two players are the same but Kylington's skating sure would lessen the sting from Brodie departing (if that's the case).
