Todd Cordell: Oliver Kylington Will Play In North America Next Season

Thats good news for his development.

Awesome. Might be good for him to play with guys his own age in the WHL for a season. Then again, he's been playing against men since he was 15 or 16.

Gotta admit, Treliving is doing an impressive job IMO. I thought Kylington was a steal value-wise where he was drafted.

If he doesn't make the the Flames I hope he plays in Stockton. Anyway good news for sure!

that's really not a hockey name

Excellent news.

Watch him play for Brandon, Stockton, WJ-U20 and Calgary this year Kylington style.

YES I FINALLY WON

Good news, will be easier to keep track of him.

On a side note, has anyone heard anything about Ferlands contract negotiations?

I imagine there is not much to worry about. Pay the kid.

Hey Todd, really enjoying your blogs. I dont post much but always reading. Calgary Flames have one of the best prospect pools in the league. I thought the Rangers last blog was pretty cool as he wrote about the top 10 prospects in their system. Would love to read a blog on how you would rank Calgary's prospects. Especially interested to hear what u think about Janko, I think Feaster was right and this kid will shine. Cheers!

I know this is about hockey, but what an idiot Kraft is. The guy has more money than brains. Sad that people who get gifted money actually think they earned it.

What happened?

Morning all, I was looking at a couple other NHL rumour pages this morning and I read one that had Arizona looking for a RH defenceman to play with OEL so I looked up who was on their roster and prospects. To me Henrik Samuelsson looks like a pretty good fit for a need for the Flames. He is about the right age to be apart of the Flames core, he is RH and looks to fit the power forward role. I know he is listed as centre but if he could be shifted to the wing he might be exactly what the Flames are looking for.

I know Arizona would covet him as well and Wideman would have to waive his NTC but do you guys see a deal that could be done here? Maybe retained some salary (I realize that the Flames are not in a situation to take on extra salary anymore but maybe in the right situation or maybe just for this year) or maybe add in some 3rd/ 4th line depth into the trade. Add a guy Raymond (I know he would have to waive as well but I would say his chances of playing are better in Arizona than they are in Calgary) or Byron?

I am just throwing ideas out there. I think Henrik Samuelsson is exactly what the Flames are looking for.

They will take Luke Schenn ( Flyers ) RH D-man

Haven't been following him too closely. Looking at his stats, it seems he had a pretty solid AHL rookie campaign.

From the scouting reports on various websites, his foot speed might need a couple more years to get up to NHL snuff. The Flames are pretty high on mobility with the people they've brought in recently.

Depends on two things:

1. The going price for a top 4 defenseman this year (last year it was high)
2. How much of a fan Treliving was of Samuelsson when he was an Assistant GM of the Coyotes.

Treliving knows what he's getting so I think it would be a tough sell. Especially if we intend on taking another shot at playoffs this year.

Man this is a slow week for hockey
