2015 Development Camp: Oliver Kylington

Oliver Kylington may be one of the most fascinating players drafted by the Calgary Flames in years. Pronounced "Shillington" (because in Swedish the "Kyl" sequence becomes a "Sh" sound), the talented Swede was lauded by many as one of the top players in the 2015 Draft. He was ranked first among European skaters by Central Scouting in their midterm rankings, but an uneven year punctuated by changing teams resulted in him being ranked sixth on that list at year's end.

He ended up going 60th overall to the Flames, when Calgary traded up from the third round to grab him.
