I have no personal desire to see it. Looking at this purely from a PR perspective, it's a poor choice. Kylington is allowing other people to set the conversation around this entirely. The way to avoid further prying into his situation is to create a statement from which people can derive enough information to not require further digging and complaining. If that's what he desires, that's what he should do.
Saying absolutely nothing just leads to wild speculation, something the pundits repeatedly assure us is something he does not desire at all. If that's the case it is within his power entirely to stop it.
The fact is that being a public personality (being a multi millionaire hockey player auto-conveys this status) reduces your ability to have privacy in general. It's part of why they deserve such a large amount of compensation in return. They're not getting paid millions just to play skatey-shooty. They get paid millions because their life/ performance becomes subject to public scrutiny from morons as diverse as you and I all the way to the depths of intelligence present in Eric Francis. Look at the johnny gaudreau thread- you have JAs wildly speculating about every element of his family dynamic... That's part of the job unfortunately. So, stop living in a fantasy world where you can get paid millions in a very public facing role and can still expect absolute privacy. That's a farce.
