Why does everything relating to this guy need to be so mysterious?
Hey, I’ve seen this one before

Hopefully it’s just today
I want him to play so badly, but if these personal leaves keep happening, I don’t know if continuing to be a player in Calgary makes sense for the team or him.
We don’t know what he’s going through, that being said I hope things get figured out and he’s on the ice
Fuuuuuuck! I hope this is just temporary and doesn’t turn into another full season. I love Kylington and hope he’s okay. The secrecy is annoying though lol. I get it but it’s still annoying.
Yo, what the fuck
This kind of sounds like a possible ped discovery and everyone’s being protected by simply keeping him out and not commenting past it being private. Maybe/hopefully I’m being a pessimist and reading too much into it.
The blows are starting early they seem. Was one of the few players I was looking forward to and then this happens…
I feel for Kylington, but the team gave him 2.5m dollars to do nothing last year and gave him all the space he needed. If he can’t play, at some point questions about moving on will be asked.
Is it time to cut the cord? It sucks he’s dealing with stuff but we need a defenceman who can play
It’s difficult to see a player we need not be available for personal and private reasons. But at this point the Flames have no other options. No team will take him in a trade, the collective bargaining agreement won’t allow the flames to end his contract unilaterally and he is trying hard to come back. The Flames have to and appear to want to support him.
At least he’s in the city and ready to go this time. I’m not worried until it actually gets consistent.
