Flames supported and protected Kylington for almost 2 full years of his contract, walking him right to free agency, then offered him what reportedly was a better deal than he eventually signed. You can say he doesn’t owe the team anything, but I doubt that most teams would have been as supportive as the Flames were, knowing they were doing it all for Kylington’s benefit alone. To sign a 1 year “show me” contract with the Flames would have been a reasonable reciprocation.
