They truly do not treat him fairly compared to everyone else and it’s rooted in bias, nothing else. Cue some guy with fancy stats incoming to argue the opposite. Alternatively it’ll be an appeal to authority.

Kylington can pass the puck (very sorely needed), skates well and generates offence. Defensive mistakes are what happen when you take risks to create offence sometimes and we permit it for some (Brodie, Hanifin) but not others who’s careers get derailed (Kylington).
Im curious as to what bias exists for him, who created it, and how 4 different coaches have now been told to apply it to him from....someone?

Like...if he is really good and should be playing as you claim, why would the team not use him or at the very least, trade him as a useful asset?

Just doesn't add up.
