It's not the smartest move in the world, but if you think that Kylington can be a top 4 d-man for you, then $2.5M x 4 years is potentially a worthwhile risk.
In the end I'm just sharing what a guy who has been proven to have some intel about the team shared on twitter. Not advocating that somebody signs him to a 4 year deal, just that the agent thought there would be a 4 year offer on the table and it didn't come to fruition since a different deal occurred.

Yeah. Because Tanev sheltered him.
Kylington is, in my opinion, an NHL Defenceman. Probably a 3 or 4 tops, but an NHL Defenceman.
Problem is that he might go MIA on you at any moment. So, yeah, no one is going to give him term.
The money at $2.5 seems very reasonable. But other than that? I think he mis-read the market and/or the market is waiting until he's desperate.
That can't be good for his mental health.
