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.

Are you referring to the following Valimaki that has been a solid 4/5 defenseman for the past two seasons?

By comparison, this is Kylington at the same age after being boosted by Tanev:

Most teams in the league would probably take Valimaki @ $2M x 2 right now over Kylington on the same terms.
