The player has final say and we know he was offered a deal...so he and he alone is responsible for not having something in place right now.
OK overvalued himself IMO (which is mind boggling based on the last 2 years) and now has to find another way back.

Well bad decisions often follow bad advice. Players have the final say but many are likely to follow the advice of their agents and relying on them for guidance in the process. That said, for all we know Barry advised him to take the Flames deal and the player either wanted a fresh start or more money/term. Either way it's clear that the Kylington side read the market wrong and will have to likely go the PTO route.
