Flames Trade Up, Take Oliver Kylington At 60th Overall

For the second time in as many days, he made a bold move at the NHL Draft to improve his team. He sent two picks (76th and 83rd) to the Arizona Coyotes for the 60th overall pick, then selected Swedish defender Oliver Kylington.

If that name sounds familiar, it's because Kylington may be the most fascinating player in this year's draft. In some circles, he began the season in a battle with Noah Hanifin for the spot of "best player in the draft outside McEichel." He bounced around a bit this season, going from Djurgardens IF of the SHL to AIK of Allsvenskan.
