Valimaki - 54 Minutes - 54.3 xGF%
Andersson - 393 Minutes - 50.7 xGF%
Hamonic - 36 Minutes - 50.4 xGF%
Davidson - 51 Minutes - 47.5 xGF%
Stone - 84 Minutes - 33.0 xGF%
When he's been paired with other NHL dmen like Valimaki and Andersson he's been fine. The struggles have been when he's playing with washed out players like Davidson or Stone.
I'd love to see what he would look like with a steady, reliable guy like Tanev next to him for a 10 game stretch.

Good point for sure.
But I'd also argue that Rasmus Andersson and Juuso Valimaki as examples were able to prove their mettle in unfavourable pairings and earn the ability to gain the veteran partner.
Kylington really hasn't.
