Yup.
If Kylington went, it wouldn't be on a loan. He would have to sign a contract and hope he can get an NHL release cause.
Plus, there is a bigger incentive for teams to get loaned players than signing players right now, since teams that loan players typically cover at least a portion of their salary.
