Huska needs to put Kylington in the starting lineup, he deserves a standing O during lineup announcement

[Enoch Root]

Great news that Kylington is going to be in the lineup!

But him and Oesterle as a pairing? That is going to horrific, and butter-soft. Put him with Tanev and give him a chance to succeed:

Weegar - Andersson
Kylington - Tanev
Hanifin - Oesterle

(Hanifin and Gilbert haven't looked bad together, just saying)

[Toonage]

Why does Oesterle have to play at all?

Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Tanev
Gilbert-Weegar

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

I suspect Kylington is going to have very limited minutes so he's on with the next lowest minutes guy and sometimes someone else (Tanev or Andersson probably) will double shift.

Lol @ "almost exactly". Is it exactly, or is almost? Or is it more than?

I'm actually genuinely curious to see a Kylington - Weegar pairing because I think both guys would compliment each other quite well. I think we might see it after the deadline.

Does he fetch a first rounder? We'll see.

If Lindholm is ultimately traded and doesn't fetch a first, I'll eat my hat.

#1B center, young, scored 40 goals and 80 points two years ago, defensively sound, plays PK ...

It's rare that a player of his caliber is avaliable at the deadline. Even struggling this year, he will fetch a handsome return.

The mistakes, when they occur, will be guaranteed epic ones anyway. Every D-man makes a boo-boo now and then and despite both being talented players Weegar and Kylington are no exception. But theirs often seem to be dangerous ones. With both it's a lot of risk/reward. Weegar loves to challenge at his own blue line and make sometimes risky plays at the other one.
