Fox is who Kylington fanboys wish Kylington was.
Yep. Guy is looking like a world class puck mover.

Bottom 6 player, as long as he plays with energy, some physicality and well defensively (all of which he shouldn't have a problem doing), he will carve out a decent career.What do guys see in Curtis Lazar this year? 1st rounder a couple years ago but could be on his last leg if he has another bad year.
As a Kylington fanboy, that's simply not true. Fox is an elite offensive defenseman, but Kylington has an ability to dominate in all three zones. People just haven't caught on to Kylington's skillset because of his tendency to get caught trying to make plays where there are none - but in actuality Kylington's best skill is his defensive zone escapability. WRT this summer showcase, Erik Brannstrom is who Kylington fanboys wish Kylington was, except Kylington is already a bigger defenseman than Brandstrom with more offensive skill playing bigger minutes in a better league. Basically Erik Branstromm is a poor man's Oliver Kylington, albeit without the negative hype that has followed Kylington since his draft year.
I am stoked to have Fox, Valimaki, Kylington, and Andersson, but out of the four if I had to hug one while the others washed away in a trade tsunami, it'd be Kylington... he is the only one of the four who has Norris upside. Even if Fox has more offensive instinct, Valimaki has better size and pedigree, and Andersson is a bit thicker. I would compare Oliver Kylington to Duncan Keith, he has the ability to dominate games the same way. I'm very impressed by the other three, but Kylington can display jaw-dropping ability at times. And I'm not even talking about his skating.
Fox has elite level hockey IQ so he is not far behind though.
That would be neat if Fox makes the roster.
Let's see him do that against an NHL netminder.

Let's take a moment to realize he is quoting Tony GranatoVery neat. Would take the hype thrusters to another level too.
How much does this kid remind you of Gaudreau's rise? It's almost like a freakin' mirror image except on defence.
Calgary got an exceptional player here.

Granato is the USA olympic head coach..
And? He doesn't select the team and let's be honest, he's awful.Granato is the USA olympic head coach..
