There's just something about 'how' Kylington does certain things. The way he receives some passes looks really awkward for no apparent reason, he chooses some really strange routes when skating without the puck, as if to give the opponent an open lane. Not to mention he's tiny, for a dman. Could all just be young dman type stuff, but I think he lacks a certain hockey IQ required to play NHL caliber defense, in my opinion.
He's young so he very well could prove me wrong, but I just don't see NHL defense-man upside with him, certainly not top-4 pairing.
