Good step for sure ... but I don't know if I'd say clearly or a big step.
Bottom line is they kept him, so they see something. If they wanted him in the AHL they would have waived him this week before games started as you can usually get guys down.
So they want him playing, or they don't want to lose him, ... either way they saw something.

I don't disagree, but the point should still be why is a bum like Gudbranson taking away his path to playing time? The answer - simply because Tre handing him a truckload of money for being bad at hockey.
You cannot convince me that this player is in any way shape or form an upgrade over Kylington at this point. Infact, he's a certain downgrade based on his track record and pretty lackluster preseason. Why not continue the momentum Kylington built by playing much improved hockey until he proves otherwise?
