Oliver Kylington may not want to play hockey anymore.
This is an anathema to everyone on this site. Millions of dollars to play hockey is a lottery win. But he may be actually doing the most “stand up” thing he can. Not signing because he doesn’t want to play again, or even just isn’t sure. If he signs there is obligation there.
It may be the most reasonable answer, and not a case of greed, selfishness, or even “business”.

Before July 1 his agent said he and the team exchanged offers. That sounds like he wants to play.
