Yep, Kylington was the only one they found in a long time. A long, long, long time. Almost a quarter of a round.

There is a lot behind the scenes we don’t know about as well. Conroy has alluded to a few things in interviews this summer.
They traded up to get the Kylington pick because Treliving felt he owed it to the scouts after trading 3 picks for Hamilton.
Kylington is a player so it worked out, but losing the picks to trade up meant they missed out on Kaprizov by 1 pick.
If Minnesota didn’t pick him, and he fell to them they look like geniuses.
Hindsight is 20/20 but there is more going on than what we see.
