As far as I’m concerned Kylington got paid $5M by the Flames to go on a lavish vacation (based on his IG) for two years and play 33 games when this season was basically already over. $2.5M of space would've gone a long way in 22-23 for a team that missed the playoffs by a couple of points. See ya buddy.
He will absolutely flourish in Colorado!! He wanted a change of scenery and rather then wishing bad on Oliver I fuckin guarantee good will come Calgary's way!! I will say it again!! FLAMES WILL WIN THE 2026 LOTTERY AND DRAFT GAVIN MCKENNA!!!
He was given a 2 year “prove what you are” contract, during which he played 33 games. He had some mental health issues and Calgary did the right thing through all of that. Then the Flames offered him another “prove what you are” contract, which was more than fair. Oliver and his agent balked at the offer thinking they could get more, but he hasn’t proven anything! He is a good skater, he has some offensive upside, and that’s about all that’s known about him! He is not a proven commodity in the league, so no team is going to offer him a contract that a proven commodity would get. Colorado was the last deal left on the table, and it’s a one year “prove what you are” contract worth less than what the Flames offered! (There is a lot of hearsay over what that deal was, it was my understanding that it was basically the same deal he was on the last two years but with a little more money, I can’t back that up though)
To be honest a 4th rounder is better than what they got which is nothing. What stings is he was paid 5 million instead of being suspended for not playing out his contract.
Flames offer more money and term. Connie gave him a chance to fix it. To much pride and ego! Opens a spot for the younger guys! Am super happy to see the new roster!
Why are so many Flames players actively trying to tank the team? By not giving them notice, the Flames lose assets for nothing. There have been so many ex-Flames that have done them dirty that makes me think there is something else at play here.
The Flames will not fail to " suspend without pay ", the Next player unfortunate enough to be in a similar situation! Kylington has set a bad precedence for Calgary and other NHL teams to follow in future situations similar to his. He will also be on a short leash in Colorado.....
Wow … another who doesn’t want to be in Calgary. He took less money and term just to get out of there. Those who had a chance to leave … left. Those who remain … have to. They are stuck there bc of their contracts. What the hell is going on in CowTown ???
Pinder "Most teams would have just suspended him and not paid him $4M". What a dumb statement regarding mental health issues. EVERY team would have still paid him.
Bette Davis said it best about Joan Crawford when asked about Crawfords death. “One should speak good of the dead, she’s dead, good”. He’s gone. Good. He has relegated himself to 1 year contracts. Who would sign him for multiple years? Plus he should be allowed to sign where he wants. Maybe he didn’t want to play for a team that won’t see the playoffs for 10 years.
Oh well. Hes not that good anyways. Hes a bottom pair guy on a good team. He also doesn't fit the flames future in my opinion. He's an offense first player with limited defensive upside. If even two of Parekh, Mews, Brzustewicz, or Porier turn into nhl players we will have a ton of offense from the back end. We will need some guys who concentrate on defensive play more than we will need Kylington.
Stop krying when/if things dont get as you whant it. He is a UFA, can do fuck as he ........ If he got played by his agent, he prob knew it by now. And can just replace him. If he whanted more the 1 year in Calgery on a new deal, he will note sign a 1 year one and stay. At the end of the day he got a deal on a tem that are great in handeling players that had som ruff years as in Jonathan Drouin. Insted of being a crybaby stand uprigth and be the one that helped him back to life and to the ice inted. BTW i knew you ar fans. But sometimes its just to......
Stop crying? Are you kidding? the flames paid the guy millions to sit at home, no suspending him, no unpaid leave, did way more than any club would for a sub par player. Then they get a slap in the face because the player wants to be greedy, no warning, no hey thanks for looking after me, nothing, just a fuck you thanks for the millions. Crying? Ya ok. Do you think any club will do anything to help players now in the same situation, hell no, how many other players has this guy just fucked over because he is a greedy piece of shit. Good riddance, good luck on the ice.
I know it's summer but there's a lot of grabbing air here. We still don't know what his situation was and it's not like we are talking about multi million dollar contracts here. I think at the end of the day even as a Flames fan, the fact Shilly is going to still be playing is a blessing in its own right and really nothing more should be made of it. But I get it, it's summer and it's something to talk about. Wish him well, and there's no bad blood IMO.
"He's not showing loyalty. I wish him well." LOL

Kylington is a joke. After all the franchise has done for him. Good riddance.,
Agree 100%
Kylington: I love calgary.
Also, Kylington; *decides to leave Calgary*
I am not missing him one bit. Very ungrateful individual.
Flames need character guys, Kylington isn’t anything close to that, he’s clearly weak and immature
He will absolutely flourish in Colorado!! He wanted a change of scenery and rather then wishing bad on Oliver I fuckin guarantee good will come Calgary's way!! I will say it again!! FLAMES WILL WIN THE 2026 LOTTERY AND DRAFT GAVIN MCKENNA!!!
idk it's not like he was a particularly good D man in Calgary. Offensive D man who was on a 19 point pace last year....
As an avs fan: he saw what happened with Drouin and wanted the same story
It seems to me that he just didn’t want to be in Calgary. Why ? Why are so many players leaving ??
Because of the Dome
I think he just wanted as much $ as possible
Because they want to win??
@@brenzyc8703 He took less.
shit city to live in as a young millionaire and also the team sucks right now

Jeez you guy's let it go already it's water under the bridge
Its summer, nothing to talk about.
Past Flames management grossly failed to learn from their mistakes in the past, lets help keep them accountable to the fans at the very least.
Its water under the fridge.
Free ride in Calgary
Another decent player that Calgary invests in and gets nothing in return.
So what do you think they would have gotten for him? A 4th round pick?
To be honest a 4th rounder is better than what they got which is nothing. What stings is he was paid 5 million instead of being suspended for not playing out his contract.

I'm over it... lets go.

we don't know how things really were, maybe he was offered a two-way contract, then his departure looks quite logical...
I dont think he had any issues. He played it up and still got paid, and at the end of the day, he walked away.
Oliver will play very little in Colorado unless they have long term injuries on D.
I think he knows how much he’ll play and is fine with it.
I will never cheer for him. The furthest I go is to not boo him and I’m tempted.
Couldn't the Flames held his spot and not pay him as he didn't play. Or pay a reduced amount to keep on the books!!!
Boomer, Pinder, and Rhett need some crying towels for their sewing circle.
Wow … another who doesn’t want to be in Calgary. He took less money and term just to get out of there. Those who had a chance to leave … left. Those who remain … have to. They are stuck there bc of their contracts. What the hell is going on in CowTown ???
Fugg'm
Pinder "Most teams would have just suspended him and not paid him $4M". What a dumb statement regarding mental health issues. EVERY team would have still paid him.
Most teams aren't as woke as Calgary. Pinder on point.
Shouldn't have to dance around this with word salad. Kylington hosed the Flames taking $ not showing up to work. 3-Ply soft not calling it how it is.
Bette Davis said it best about Joan Crawford when asked about Crawfords death. “One should speak good of the dead, she’s dead, good”.
He’s gone. Good. He has relegated himself to 1 year contracts. Who would sign him for multiple years?

He didn't want to live in Calgary. Period 😊

We all know what happened.
We do? Care to enlighten us?

Was is mental health or cuncussions?

Good riddance, we want people here that enjoy the city and playing for the Flames! Enough Prima Donna’s!
Taking his Ibiza Flu to the Avs. Good riddance.
Just another reason why no one wants to play for calgary
His drug dealer is in Calgary and he probably owes him a ton. So he has to leave town
