It's not a value exchange.
We should think of this is the same way as if he had suffered a serious physical injury that caused him to miss the same time.

I'm not saying that the Flames deserved special favour as some kind of transaction, but they did go beyond what a lot of teams would have done (see Texier and Columbus). If the rumour is true that Kylington was actively listening to offers from other teams while still under contract with the Flames though, that is actively disrespectful. I think the organization deserved better not as a transaction, just out of principle. You show someone respect, I don't think it is crazy to expect that they do the same back.
