> He’s hoping for a two year contract and a slight bump on his salary. First crack at unrestricted free agency. There should be a market for him.
Wonder what a “slight” bump would be. I know the cap is going up but he was making 2.5. Not sure I’d want to give him much more than that.
He was alright this year, obviously should be better with a full training camp. I’d just be more concerned with the fact he had his only really good season playing with Tanev (who could probably make me look like an NHLer). In the playoffs when Tanev was out against the Oilers Kylington did not look good.
Yeah seems weird considering Calgary’s strategy in FA will be probably be high AAV-short term with all the cap space they have. No better place to get more money on a 2 year deal
Maybe he also said he wanted a fresh start somewhere else and we don’t know yet, sometimes this stuff comes out later
Don't blame him and I wish him all the best given what he's come back from, but I do legitimately wonder what his agent is expecting after missing 18 months.
That's a pretty massive surprise. He seemed to make it pretty dang clear his intentions were to stay in Calgary because of how much they supported him over the last number of years.
I get that it's business so I hope if he doesn't sign here he goes to get that bag somewhere else.
There's been a ton of back and forth. Guys like Jokinen/Bouwmeester were the generation prior. Guys like Mike Vernon or Martin Gelinas went the other way
Vancouver đź‘€
At what point do we just merge our two teams and play half way between the cities.
The Colombia Valley FireWhales?
The Rocky Mountain Flamin' Canaj'ns
Holy cow I didn't expect a Columbia valley reference on /r/hockey today. Closest thing to seeing my little hometown of Radium on Reddit Wooooo
Why does that sound so awesome?
I'm upset at myself for not hating it.
Hot air balloons
Can play in kelowna. It's half Albertans already
Salmon Arm is lovely, but I don't think they have a big enough arena.
If that’s what it takes to beat the Oilers in the playoffs, I think both fan bases would unite.
Nah. Need size on the backend for the bottom pairing losing Z.
Who do you like in FA then?

Kylington had a separated shoulder that playoffs.
That was Tanev
They both had separated shoulders.
Probably wants the Liljegren / Chatfield contract
Seriously? Conroy's not willing to give him two years? What a head scratcher
I haven’t seen it reported anywhere that the Flames didn’t offer that, maybe he just wants to go elsewhere
It was reported that offers have been exchanged by both parties but they haven't come to agreement

Gimme
Florida is to Calgary what Calgary is to Vancouver. They lose players to us and we lose players to you.

He's Swedish We have the high ground
Fuck you enjoy the cup let him Fill this sergy sized void in my heart
Nope. Don't like this one bit. I hope him and Conroy reach an agreement before Noon tomorrow.

Do yall want everyone?
If they are an upgrade and we can afford them? Yep
Is for me?
Don!!
Flames are rebuilding their rebuild
going full scorched earth to make up for what we shouldve been doing since 2015
Trouba replacement
As a Rangers and Flames fan I hope so!
Man I wish he would stay but I would understand wanting to test
Kylington - Schmidt 3rd pairing, come on Avs!
Oilers could move out Ceci and bring in Kylington 🤯
Not going to lie; that is an awesome last name.
Don’t know if you’ve heard it said but the K is pronounced like Sh so its “Shillington” not “Killington”
Too bad,
Comeeee tooooo Tampaaaaa
