Kylington’s story has flown under the radar, with everyone fully respecting his privacy as he remains home in Sweden in the NHL/NHLPA’s Player Assistance Program for personal reasons. Kylington has continued to train and skate, but not at a high level. His $2.5 million hit has also remained on the Flames’ books in-full. Their preference is to get him back to Calgary, get him skating and bring back a guy who was a big part of their top four last season. If that isn’t in the cards, there is a mechanism to be able to spend Kylington’s money as a non-roster player, but it will likely mean he won’t be able to rejoin the team later if he decides. Even if they’re able to spend Kylington’s money, Calgary will be hard pressed to find that same kind of value on the market at that price, not to mention the acquisition cost. Either way, they need clarity ASAP.

I'm sure the team has a cut-off date where they will have to shut him down for the season and it's likely soon approaching.

They probably won’t announce it though. It reduces their leverage if it is known that they won’t be getting him back. If they announce it then I think it is because they haven’t seen any benefit in trade talks from keeping the possibility of him returning open.

I was wondering if they were going to try and toll his contract but I am guessing that would have been done at the start of the season

I didn't think about the "not playing your hand" thing.. That makes me think that he is done for the season, and they aren't saying anything yet till after the trade deadline so they aren't at a disadvantage...

I hope he does the team a solid for keeping this quiet and respectful by communicating with them his intention for the remainder of the season in a timely manner that allows the team to put themselves in the best position they can with their D. Whether that's a trade or kylington returning in the coming weeks

I still wonder if the cap relief would be retroactive back to game 1, or would they just make it from the time a return this season was ruled out. If it was retroactive, $2.5 million accrued over a whole season would allow for some substantial flexibility.

Projected $4 million in cap space, could grow to $6.5 million if Kylington does not return.

It will likely be treated as LTIR, which is why it would only be $2.5 million. It would be better if they could take off the whole season and get the full-season cap space for being $2.5 million under the cap (plus what they're already under the cap by).

Do they, though? They clearly didn't with Gaudreau.

I am sure they will have a cutoff where roster decisions are required.
Likely before the trade dead-line

Hopefully this is a sign that he is recovering from whatever obstacle was in his way.

Who's Vladimir Egorov? His trainer? And atunyaperformance is tagged which is an apparel company it seems.
But how is he??? Doesn't seem to be as chiseled as before, so maybe he is getting back into it?
