The team treated Kylington well right from the beginning of the whole issue. Some organizations would have treated him badly right from the beginning. Some organizations would not have respected his privacy, nor leaned on the media to keep them from poking around for juicy details. Some organizations, having paid a player several million dollars to do almost nothing, would not even have considered offering him another contract.
The Flames did not have to do any of those things, yet they did.

My take is the Flames couldn't have suspended Kylington and it's based on facts on what transpired.
Fact #1 Kylington asked the Flames for a leave of absence and to stay in Sweden
Fact #2 Flames agreed.
Fact #3 Flames had to pay Kylington once they agreed to it
So let's stop with the Flames were nice and didn't suspend Kylington BS.
Flames allowed Kylington to stay home. That's it. That's all they get credit for.
