Kylington wasn't exactly treated fairly either. He often played well and then was benched for demoted. This happened for years.
For a guy who fell so far in the draft, Kylington has always handled things exceptionally professionally. I have never heard a peep of a complaint from him, even though it was often justified.
Now it looks like his patience is paying off. There's a reason the Flames held onto him.
Valimaki should be looking at Kylington to see how ice time is earned, not given. Maybe it impossible or outright foolish for the coach not to play you.
