I'm sure I have blinders as with his speed it's exciting to watch as a fan, you imagine this dynamic quick puck moving D. Which most likely won't happen and the league could have had him for free. I just don't think he's been given his fair shot so far.

Nine defensemen have played 500 or more minutes for the Flames in the last two plus years.
Kylington is ranked 8th in CF% and xGF% five on five, ahead of Michael Stone in both cases.
He just hasn't been that reliable.
There's more there, but this is coach number three that doesn't have him in as a regular.
