Ugh….
Flames are having a rough year. At least the draft was good
Bruts, no wonder he’s loading up on offensive d
Men
Sucks but it is what it is. I believe that means Backs and Ras are now the sole remaining members from the 2021-2022 roster, crazy how much has changed. Keeping Kylington would have been nice but selfishly I think it will continue to weaken our D core, meaning a better chance at a high pick.
(Reminder for the random Habs fans that might come in here that the 2025 pick is top 1 protected and we only give you our first if Florida is also a bottom 10 team)
Unfortunate. I’m not going to hate on him. The last few years have been rough for him and he might just want a fresh start.
I hope the best for you killy!!
I know he’s not an irreplacable player, but because of his story and journey coming back, it will be sad to see him go. 🙁
🙁
I’m honestly curious at what other teams will pay for him. If his camp thinks the Flames aren’t offering enough, how will other GMs value a D man who has half a season of play in two years?
You got to be kidding me, after all they did for him
A little loyalty would be nice all things considered. I would have expected a discount if anything, but I guess that’s business!
Free Agency is where you go to get overpaid. Somebody will do it. He seems like a warm climate less media kind of guy
He still could sign with us though right? I mean I know it barely ever happens but in theory a player could test free agency and go back to their original team if the offer is still on the table.
Maybe he still comes back and signs with the Flames after seeing what’s available.
Rip my newly stitched Kylington jersey
Frustrating.
Agents will always push their player for the biggest contract and to test free agency. Agents get paid more the bigger the contract plus the players union is like any other union. They want the players to always get the most they can.
Bruh
My guess is he wants to gauge the market. I suspect Conroy and he will talk again.
What the fuck lol
Well, that’s pretty disappointing 🙁
Shitty but I get it. He doesn’t fit our window and Craig isn’t doing long contracts right now which is very smart. I hope wherever he ends up he thrives
Maybe Conroy doesn’t want to give him term, he’d know more than most.
If he is asking for term, then time for Flames to pivot to some UFA defensemen. We will need a veteran no presence to help stabilize and mentor the young players.
As much as I know that you should treat mental health issues the same as physical health, I can’t help but feel a bit betrayed by this from the Kylington camp. No other industry would you get paid in full for a year and a half without working with only 2 years of service time. We stood by him in his darkest hours. But I can attest from a sufferer of Anxiety/Depression, that I take Sertraline for daily, that stability is so important and he’s probably looking for a really long term deal that he can relax into, instead of constant short term “prove it” contracts. The world just isn’t a fair place.
Words. That’s all they were.
Should of been gone years ago. This is on par.
This makes me so frustrated
This is wrong.
The team stood by him when he was having issues.
Unless the Flames are not in touch with reality he really should pay it back and play here for at least one season at a reasonable market value. The team did him a solid. I think the team deserves to be treated better.
After that if he feels he has proven that he deserves more, then fair enough.
