Flames 100% did the right thing...there is no debating that. But the fact is they didn't have to, and if they wanted to they likely could have found a way to no pay him during that absence.
But it's also not wrong to recognize the Flames did the right thing, while also saying that Kylington should have a level of gratitude and owes the Flames something due to that.
If my company gave me 18 months of paid mental health leave I certainly wouldn't come back to work and ask for a raise....but I also wouldn't expect them to cut my salary and give me a pay cut.

You can't void a contract due to mental health issues. Kylington didn't ask or choose to have those issues.
What the Flames did right was show compassion for what Kylington was going through and probably helped in any way they could.
His performance on the ice both now and in the past will determine his worth and length of his contract.
