So I go back to the point that he isn't on it, not because he doesn't qualify, but simply because they haven't needed to use it to this point.
But if that is the case, then please Mr. Treliving, go get another forward, and put Kylington on LTIR please.

There is no benefit to put him on LTIR right now, which is why they have not. The longer he is not on LTIR, the longer that the Flames will gain a bit more cap space.
What I could see happening down the road, is the flames adding salary to get them to the cap, and then put him on LTIR to be able to use his salary for something else. The difference could be as adding a 4M cap hit player now or 6M cap player at the deadline.
