Calgary Flames sign 60th overall pick Oliver Kylington; where does he play in 2015-16?

The Calgary Flames may not have taken anyone in the first round of the 2015 NHL draft, but that doesn't mean they didn't get some good prospects along the way. In fact, they managed to get projected first rounder Oliver Kylington all the way down at 60th overall: and now, he's the first prospect out of that draft the Flames have signed.

A gifted skater with excellent offensive instincts, Kylington has played at extremely high levels relative to his age in Sweden. It may have been due to his youth and need to still develop that saw him get bounced around the Swedish leagues, not allowing him to find a true home team.
