I suspect Conroy wouldn't mind having him back but probably warned him prior to July 1 that if nothing gets done, they will find an option on the free agent market (which they did - Bean) and it's going to have to be a very specific scenario to come back once that happened.
I think the dude has qualities that can benefit our blueline. I was fully prepared to see him on the team in September based on the goodwill between both camps when he returned from his absence. His skillset doesn't change just because he's not on the Flames.
I think he finds an NHL team, but maybe not to the expectations he thought he could get. And this is likely a signing happening later in the season, as it would be wise to see which team is going to panic with their blueline depth once the free agent dust settles and make it a seller's market. Likely chance some team is going to look for upgrades closer to the season start and Kylington could fit that bill.
