3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Oliver Kylington


Oliver Kylington is one of the more notable defenseman still on the free-agent market. Given the fact that he is only 27 years old and has shown promise in the NHL, he should find a new home before the start of the season. Let's discuss three teams who could look to add him now. 

Utah HC: The Utah Hockey Club could look to add another defenseman to their blueline before the start of the season. Their bottom pairing could use a boost, and Kylington would have the potential to provide them with just that. On a cheap one-year deal, there could be a good match here between the two parties. 

Carolina Hurricanes: The Carolina Hurricanes lost plenty of defenders this offseason, and it would not hurt for them to add another like Kylington because of it. Bringing in Kylington would provide them with another option for their bottom pairing. At a minimum, he would be a very serviceable seventh defender for the Metropolitan Division club. 

Vancouver Canucks: The Vancouver Canucks could use one more defenseman before the start of the season. Thus, they could look to sign Kylington. He would give them another serviceable option for their left side, which is needed at this juncture.
