If Kylington ever learns how to integrate some deceptiveness into his skating, he will become a monster. People rave about his great skating, but it's all like straight-line speed, defenders can anticipate exactly what he's doing. He's gotta copy some moves from Makar.
I would say that if Kylington shows that he wants to improve his skills in the off-season, we lock him up long-term.
