Oliver has fully earned this with the Flames, but a ton of credit goes to a coaching staff who has him play a role that suits his strengths and a partner who helps him in the way he does, and that is something that can never be discounted about this team this season.

Yeah, Kylington could very well have been a disaster in Seattle. Giordano felt like the "safe pick": even in a terrible season he has a reputation and name-cache that is easy to move at the TD. If Kylington had stumbled, then they likely end up with nothing in the end.
