Sutter never played on the top PP, or on the top PK, or twenty minute nights, or even as a center. He needed out of Calgary, fullstop. And it appears Kylington does, as well.

To me, the offense is the thing that gets all the attention, but his play as a center - defense and transition - is what he actually brings to his line that is completely overlooked by statwatching. He's basically a version of prime Backlund for his team, and even as a Flame he typically showed more raw skill than Backlund.
