I'm a little surprised on both players, but not a lot.
As I've posted a few times in the last week or so Kylington is sliding for me. Great boots, but with his pedestrian style with the puck on his stick I think his processing speed just isn't there to utilize his speed. And that's what he is ... a transition guy. He doesn't seem all that offensive, and he'll never be a shut down defender.
If he can't think fast enough to use his feet then he's just a small defenseman that has little going for him.
Could easily be wrong, but that's what I saw last year.
The clock was ticking, and Mackey arrived to push the big hand to 12.
