It is a weird move because the Flames basically have a young Eric Gustafsson in Kylington.

Kylington hasn't produced because they never put him on the powerplay.

So they acquire a guy who is terrible defensively like Kylington and will gift him PP time, which they won't for Kylington.

Why not just put Kylington on the PP and save the 3rd round pick?
