Defensemen make mistakes all the time, it just stands out more when Kylington makes a mistake, because it's Kylington. I didn't like it when we drafted him, so I always make a point of watching him closely when he plays, and he's gotten better and better every year, and his mistakes have become fewer and fewer, and less egregious. I've become a bit of a fan of his, and I believe he can't develop further unless he's given chances, as Valimaki has. He played a few games when Sutter came in, and looked very good, so give him time to work with Sutter while in the line-up. Or, we can give him away, and watch him beome a useful, everyday puck-rushing D-man somewhere else, ala Bennett.
