To top up on the Oliver Kylington thought about him being in the same tier as Andersson, Fox, & Vallimaki.

In the last 15 years these are the only U-20 d-men to play in the AHL (for 40+ games) and put up similar stats to Kylington.

Kylington: GP: 60 P: 27 PPG: 0.45

Honka: GP:68 P: 31 PPG:0.46
Burns: GP: 73 P:27 PPG: 0.37
Voynov: GP:79 P:29 PPG: 0.34
Suter: GP:63 P:23 PPG: 0.37
Carlson: GP:48 P:39 PPG:0.81
Ristolainen: GP:34 P:20 PPG:0.59
Lindholm: GP:44 P:11 PPG:0.25

The Lindholm stats comparison is especially close for draft season & draft+1. He took the step to the NHL in his draft+2 so hard to compare after that.

Lindholm:

Draft - SWE-1 GP:20 P:4 PPG:0.2
Draft +1 - AHL GP: 44 P:11 PPG: 0.25
Draft+2 - NHL GP: 78 P:30 PPG: 0.38

Kylington
Draft - SWE-1 GP:17 P:7 PPG:0.41
Draft +1 - AHL GP: 47 P:12 PPG: 0.26
Draft+2 - AHL GP: 60 P:27 PPG: 0.45

Really 3-6 are all pretty interchangable between Andersson, Fox, Valimaki, & Kylington IMO. Plus the darkhorse here is Adam Olias Mattson IMO - looked good in limited AHL action and is somewhat comparable development wise to Nik Hjalmarsson.
