The deal with the Flames supposedly fell apart over term, which means the Flames were likely offering either a 1 or 2 year contract. Kylington would have had a role on a straight rebuilding Flames, but likely doesn't make the lineup this year with Parekh, Bahl, Pachal, etc.. all ahead of him.
He's the kind of player that needs top 4 minutes, to show his effectiveness as an offensive player, and looks pretty useless in a bottom pairing role. He's now played with 3 other organizations who don't think he's good enough. He's probably just not good enough for the NHL.
He's destined for Europe at this point. He got lucky, as he managed to cash in on some NHL time with the Flames, when their depth was pretty depleted. He probably loses out on $1-2 million with his gamble not to re-sign with the Flames. C'est la vie.

It's all hypothetical but if he'd stayed here, he would have more cash in the bank and more opportunity than he did bouncing around the league and being the 6/7 dman.
Our D is looking better but we've barely got a proper top four. You can't count Parekh as a top four guy until he shows it in the NHL.
