So you're going to sign Kylington with term to be your 7th D?
So you're going to sign Kylington with term so you can have an 8th D on the roster? Even though Brzustewicz, Grushnikov, Poirier, and probably Jurmo are literally right in the building and can be called up at any time without waiver issues?
When did I say term? The poster I referenced suggested circling back on a lesser deal
I don’t think the issue is him not wanting to be here, but rather looking for term and dollars that aren’t realistic given his situation. Him looking around is probably his agents doing to put pressure on the Flames. I do agree that it’s refreshing to see Conroy stick to his guns and not budge.
But kylington chose to prioritize another opportunity.
It’s his right to do so. And it’s also Conroy’s right to interpret that choice as a preference to be elsewhere.

Yes it was Tanev, it was also Sutter who put him and that pairing in good situations. And that translated into a better looking OK, and, rejuvenated Tanev 's career to an extent as well.
Same went for Gudbranson and Zadorov, and both of those men also owe Sutter some of their subsequent pay checks for the way he deployed them to help set the team, and the players personally, up for statistical success which lead to much more lucrative contracts years later.

I think you do have to consider that the Flames are not the Leafs, Rangers or even the Oilers when it comes to revenue. They will spend within their means, but they don't generate the sums of cash any of those teams do. So at the end of they day, they're not going to spend at those levels. Edwards and all the other owners didn't get into their positions by letting their business interests spend more than what they earn. The NHL's big spenders likely spend a lower percentage of their total revenue than many of their mid-level counterparts, they just have more resources to pay for their mistakes. Even in a new rink the Flames are still going to be down the list in terms of revenue. Unless you are a fan of the team...they're the type of team where a casual fan will think...that city has a team...where is that place. Not so sure Calgarians are going to constantly fork out a grand to see a game like people in Edmonton do.
I'm a fan of the Calgary Flames. I will never get this 'lets make an excuse for the billionaire owners'. The Flames are far from a poor team who I'm sure have revenue closer to the top of the league than the bottom.

I'm going to predict a 2yr/1.25m AAV contract in Florida. Makes some sense as they've lost Montour and OEL, and makes sense for Kylington too (great team, no state taxes, Bennett/Tkachuk connection).
