I'm not sure I like this treatment. Kylington has put in his time working hard in the farm and finally getting in the line up this season. He makes the rookie mistake here and there, no more than Brodie makes huge mistakes for a veteran. We trade for a depth dman in Fantenberg (which has played decent) and all of a sudden Kylington seems to be the odd man out.

Say what you will but in my opinion I can't see anything good coming out of this.

Life of a rookie.

I bet he would rather sit on a folding chair than take the bus around for AHL games.

NHL baby but he's still got more seniority on the team than Fantenberg.

That's the thing, he shouldn't be in the conversation for AHL if we didn't pick up Fantenberg.

Glad I'm not the only one who kinda felt weird about this. It's sort of undignifying and unprofessional. Hope Kylington doesn't see it that way.

Not sure what you're concerned about here. They have more players here than stalls, so someone gets a chair. Kylington is the youngest, with the least number of NHL games.

Do you not have siblings? This is a normal thing, and not a slight to Kylington.

It is a certainty that he doesn't. Because if he did, he wouldn't have thick enough skin to have made it this far.

Some of you are special flowers.

Ironic because you're getting worked up over our opinions.

More like "annoyed" by how some people obsess about trivialities. Posters would not have felt compelled to respond in the first place had genetic_phreek not made a point about misinterpreting the situation.

If some new "Older" guy started working at my office and was appointed my desk because he's got in more years than I have, I'd still be pissed. You must be a union worker lazy at your job but have your seniority time in.

Is your job playing hockey in the NHL? No? That probably explains the difference here.

It could be that, or, it could be that he has a better grasp on how these things tend to work in professional hockey.

LOL, I'm sure Kylington can cry himself to sleep using his NHL paystub as a tissue.

As if he cares.

I'm voicing my opinion because it's a forum for that purpose. So sorry that you're almighty and annoyed with the post. No matter, playing hockey is still a work place and if you get bumped just by the fact that you are a young guy, that still doesn't make it all flowers and butterflies.
