For those unfamiliar with his situation, let me tell you a story about Oliver Kylington.

During the 2013-14 season, the season prior to his draft eligible season, people that follow the draft began to hear chattering about his skills. He was considered a surefire top five pick in the 2015 Draft. But his stock began to slide throughout the 2014-15 campaign and the Flames bought low, trading up into the end of the second round to take him at 60th overall.

This might shock you, but there were likely members of the hockey world's collective braintrust that saw a teenager playing with swagger in men's pro hockey in Sweden and fixated on the flaws.
