Agreed with the sentiments being shared. There is nothing to begrudge with either party. The Flames appear to have treated him well through a very difficult time for him, and the Flames also offered him an opportunity to continue his career with them as he hit UFA.
Kylington either didn't see the fit with the Flames, or wasn't happy with $, term or both. Regardless, that's his business decision to make. The Flames don't need to do anything more with him than they would with any other player at this point either.
Kylington will be employed in the NHL next year if he wants to be. It's not even debatable that he's bare minimum worth bringing in for a number of teams, it may just take time to sort out. Whether the locations, $ or term end up being worth it to Kylington is another question, but if he wants to be in the NHL, he will be.
