I have never been big on Kylington but I can say without a doubt that he's never played as poor as Valimaki has to open this season. I get that the Flames invested a 1st in Valimaki and they are going to give him every opportunity but they invested a 2nd in Kylington. Time to swap these guys and let the better player stay in the lineup. Not saying Valimaki is a bust but this is probably the last kick at the can for this core of players and maybe the GM as well and games shouldn't be wasted on development of a defenseman that may simply not be ready.
