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.

Oilers media claimed he was a healthy scratch in the playoffs but he was injured and in a walking boot for the entire playoffs and even at their post season media day.
seriously what's wrong with those guys, especially considering how it ended with him there.
