Nothing, but there was a group of us at the time who believed that Kylington was likely good enough to be a day-to-day NHL player at that point (especially relative to players like Nesterov and Stone). Now, even with the benefit of hindsight, there's no way to know if we were right or wrong, but I still think there's a decent argument that the Flames should have given Kylington more opportunity sooner.
