I can only assume its a united nations crime against basic human linguistics for pronouncing Kylington -- Shillington. There is no precedent for this.

My name is Leonardo, pronounced Jimmy.

Certainly it will take some time to get his game legs back but IMO he was our best defenseman alongside Tanev last year
I agree 100 percent, I held out hope that he would be back this year as we missed him greatly. Now, I am not so sure he will ever be back.

What made me realize how badly we missed him was watching Stetcher play. Stetcher has a similar game, but with less potential than Kylington. Stetcher was a massive breath of fresh air in the lineup. Finally having a defencemen with some offensive instincts was great.

But how can you just say something like this with nothing to back it up? "Sounds like". What do you base this on? Do you have sources, or are you the source yourself? Or are you just an internet loser trying to look important.

Because I know what is correct.

And no, I am not going to share.
And no, I am not posting "I know" simply to look smart and hold back, but to stop non-sensical misinformation.

Treliving and others haven't said much but what has come out makes that speculation nonsensical. so it didn't "sound like" any such thing.

You posted this:

When making such a claim the burden of proof is with you.
So either provide a link/source or retract it.

Real question, why do you choose to be the way you are.

Strange timing. Season's over and in the past week he's finally been active on instagram again, training and reposting stories from fans etc. You waited the whole regular season to say "hey wait a minute what the hell is going on?" lol

Guys have missed full seasons before and come back, and particularly at his relatively young age it's entirely possible for him to come back even if he isn't ready and up to speed for opening night.

What DOES need to happen on Kylington's end is that he needs to let the organization know by draft day whether he will be at camp and playing next season. Whether or not he is going to be counting against the cap, and whether he will be filling a roster spot eventually, makes an enormous difference to how this offseason goes.

It's time to unburden yourself. The strain of carrying this around must be eating away at you. Share.

Didn't know about the Instagram video and consider this a "Post Season Kylington Discussion Thread"
