Ethan Bear would seem a low limit comparable for Oliver Kylington. Both players are 97 birthdays. Bear has 47 career points in 190 games played. He only played 58 games last year and did not dress for the playoffs. Canes still gave him a 1 year deal for 2.2 per year. Kylington has 47 career points in 168 career games played, and played in 12 playoff games last year. So there's no way OK is coming in at this number. Will depend on how much weight the previous season carries in determining this award or settlement which might end up around 3 per year. So between the two arbitration guys the Flames cap space could dissappear pretty quickly. If you want some term the number likely goes up.

I have a hard time looking past that skating ability which is rare on the back end. But he's also a slight guy who can put himself in bad spots which is very risky. This is the time to do a 5 year deal where maybe the first couple are fair or mediocre value, but the last few are high value if you believe in the player.
