Yeah, they really wanted him so badly they signed him for *checks notes* 1 yearโฆ
hey-there-yall
Really tired of hearing about this guy.

It’s remarkable how quickly he shifted from “not mentally fit to play hockey” to “all I care about is winning”.

I don’t mean to be insensitive but this guy is a ding dong.

I wondered if he might leave. No matter how good we were about it, he’s still going to associate his time in Calgary with mental illness.
Not surprised someone in that situation might be wanting a fresh start

No relationship with his family? Must be some troubled stuff, feel like we havnt seen anything on his struggles maybe this gives a touch of insight?

Iโm a big mental health supporter, but itโs a lot easier to deal with when youโre getting paid millions and not working. Iโm glad the flames (a big corporation) actually did this, itโs just not like this for normal people.

Not one thank you to the Flames for all they did for him. Good riddance. I hope Colorado sucks next year.

Yawn. All this handwringing over a 27 year old with ONE full NHL season under his belt. In the grand scheme of things this is such a non issue.

I would hope people have grown some since the Gaudreau/Tkachuk discourse. Regardless of what Calgary did for him, he has the right as a UFA to entertain offers from any team in the league. Conroy said they elected to sign Jake Bean to fill his role and he doesnโt seem too broken up about it. When also considering all of the NHL D Calgary has I canโt say itโs shocking Kylington looked for more opportunity.
It sucks he missed time for mental health reasons, but Iโd rather root for an organization that puts the well being of their people first because itโs the right thing to do and not because it should earn them some loyalty come UFA season. Further, when considering Calgary is going into rebuild mode, it shouldnโt be surprising he wants to play meaningful hockey now that he feels heโs in a position to do so.
By now, Iโd hope fans would be able to wish a player in this situation well and shift focus to the future.

I hope not, but I have the feeling that there is something major brewing in his life. No relationships with family is odd. I can imagine some things going on in his life, but wonโt share them because there is zero evidence out there, but still makes me wonder if a relapse is possible. The truth of the matter is that bothers me that he did not extend with the flames, but at the same time I hope he recovered 100%. He is a young man trying to live his life and he deserves happiness and not to be judged by hockey-centric fans. Good luck to him.
