And...if Kylington showed he could play consistently, he would have a spot on the roster. Andersson is the proof of that.
He earned his playing time and earned the right to move up the line-up.
Kylington has shown nothing but promise at this stage. Promise that hasn't translated into consistent play that 3 different coaches could trust.
A pretty simplistic view? How you build a team is a rather fundamental premise to winning. You have a finite amount of cap space, draft picks and trade capital and how you deploy those assets isn't all that simplistic IMO.

Your comment "if you are going on a run you need it." is so telling that it hardly needs any further comment. Instead of building a team that can go a run, we'll add the pieces that might help if it were to happen.
