He's averaging 0.69 points per game.

Nice.

with barely any PP time. that's impressive to me

fwiw, his IPP near 90% is probably unsustainable. I don't think even McDavid or Sid have IPP that high.

Either that means his scoring will go down, or the forwards he's out there will start scoring without him getting a point when he's on the ice without his scoring going down.

I hope it is the latter.

On the flip side, Hanifin and Andersson have absurdly low IPP, equally unsustainable. Hopefully that means their production picks up without a drop in on-ice goalscoring.

Play him on PP1- don't be scared homie..

I can justify leaving Andersson on pp1 but not having Kylington on pp2 is criminal

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Kylington should be the focus of the PP.

Take my stewpid like you filthy vermin

First of all, if I'm @ing you here, don't take it personally or as a callout. I just find some of these comments amusing in retrospect. Take it with a laugh.

Lol you of all people have no stones to cast in a post history dredge.

 

[Flameshomer]

But, this is some tasty crow I am all too happy to eat. Great to see Kylington roll with the punches and come out a far superior player.

KY start of the word. Try google translate chicken into swedish and listen the pronunciation. Why it's like that, no idea

 

[Jericho]

And why exactly does Kylington never play on the power play? The best offensive defensemen on a team lacking any real other offensive defensemen. It's seems mind-boggling.

The simple answer is that there is no pair more iconic than The Flames & Shooting themselves in the foot

Save money by refusing him PP time until he locks in long term for cheap?

 

[Mazatt]

They're just waiting to get him to realize his Gaudreau-ian roots and get him on the 2nd unit--not as a QB, but as the ol' looper that carries the puck in the zone and sets up the half-wall. They just are biding their time to replace Backlund with him on there

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Rarefied air.




(Also Mangiapane, but still)

 

[Dertell]

They put this guy on waiver and nobody claimed him. You, who is reading this post, is smarter than all 32 NHL GMs combined.

Just a few more years and he will be ready for pp and ot duties

You know Treliving has given orders that Kylington does not get PP time so the Flames won't have to pay as much this off-season.

Lol he is an rfa he will be offered 12 dollars, 3 buttons and some lint.

If he keeps it up, I'm saying $6x4 year deal.

In the Swedish language, a word starting with a K followed by a soft vowel (eiyäö) is pronounced with a sj- sound (Sj-sound - Wikipedia) and K followed by hard vowels (aouå) is pronounced as a hard K.
