For sure. There’s no missing the fact that no one had an every day spot for him on their NHL roster even though he was being paid the NHL minimum. But I think there’s a possibility that the reason for that is that his opportunities have been too limited. If his opportunities have been too limited, none of us know the reason why. I threw out implicit or unconscious bias as a possible contributing factor, but I have no idea. The simplest explanation is that the organization, for legitimate, hockey reasons, simply believes Kylington is not good enough for the opportunity to play a full season.
