Kylington's CF% of 66.7 and CRel% of 4.5 wasn't too bad. But Hanifin, Andersson and Stone all were better. Stone is still putting up excellent possession numbers. Second pair should probably be Zadorov-Stone. But I think Sutter insists on pairing Kylington with a capable vet.

McAvi plays so much that they need two d-men pairs and two forward lines to cover him.
And he's also double shifted. They don't even double him with the same lines - he's out there with Kassian, Kane and Yamamoto.
