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.

Is that true?
Bean had 25 points in 63 games that same year (Kylington got 31 points in 73 games). And the following year Valimaki got 34 points in 78 games. I think these guys have had pretty similar trajectories (minus the leave of absence for Kylington).
