Is this a joke? Nylander is FAR more valuable than Kylington. He's top 5 pick in many drafts.
No disagreements from quite a few of us Flames fans TBH. Kylington may be undervalued by many other fans and worth more than a late 2nd where we drafted him, but he's not worth Nylander.
It seems not many people in this thread have actually watched a 2016-17 Stockton Heat game. Kylington is by far the more valuable piece going forward, that will become clear during the WJC where both players will play together. The only reason I would be willing to trade him is because Nylander fits a need better.
His stock is up, but he still isn't worth a top 10 or higher pick, which is what A. Nylander is.
I'm not so sure about that. I think people underrate what Kylington has looked like in his time in the AHL. Nothing against Nylander but those kinds of pieces can be found, quality dmen aren't as easy to come by. Especially ones with the skating ability like Kylington has.
Sure. I don't disagree with the bolded, but the latter part would be a hilariously bad reason to believe we can get A Nylander for Kylington. Kylington is still not proven enough to be worth around a top 10 pick.
I will say that I have watched Kylington in the AHL and he seems to be substantially better than 60th overall in the 2015 draft would lead you to believe, with his talent and skating it seems like he should of been taken in the middle-ish portion of the 1st round. Though assuming Buffalo would trade Nylander taken 8th overall in the most recent draft a few months ago for him, seems entirely outlandish.
You are better with words than I am. Agreed completely.
