As to whether he could have entered it after being suspended for not reporting to make sure he was still getting paid, I am not so sure. Are there any examples where that has happened? It’s also a program and he would have had to have been meeting requirements and benchmarks outlined in the program. Were there any indications that he was willing to do that? The Flames let him do things the way he wanted to without question. Without even knowing details, we don’t even know if he would qualify. They would have wanted their own approved professionals making the assessments.
It was the morally right thing to do, but from a business perspective it was generous. I bet some teams would not have taken the same path. I am glad the Flames did though.

Entering the assistance program is confidential. There is no reason capfriendly would have the information if Kylington didn’t want everyone to know the information.
Are there any examples of it happening? We don’t know. How many players have entered it once they got in trouble with something because it’s a better route than being suspending? We don’t know. This situation is nothing like that, but this is just to counter the dumb notion that the Flames (or any team) would have/could have suspended him. It’s not that easy.
You have no idea how the situation played out, including what the Flames did or didn’t do as far as them letting him “do things the way he wanted to without question.” You literally have zero idea that’s how it happened, nobody but the people directly involved do.
Everyone wants to make up their own stories about what the Flames did or didn’t do vs. what they could have or couldn’t have done, or what Kylington did or didn’t do vs what he should have or shouldn’t have done. Which is fine, until people and their little fantasies manifests into them disparaging someone, talking about respect, character, etc without having a clue. Some people here come across like gossipy junior high girls and are embarrassing themselves without even realizing it (not referring to you here).
We already knew the “true colours” of most of the people posting classless nonsense here, so it’s not a surprise. It’d just be nice if they had the mental capacity to keep some thoughts as inner thoughts because nobody wants to read about how negatively they view Kylington’s character and then watch them whine because they’re “just sharing a public opinion!” like some moron that is above criticism lol.
