Confirmed Trade: [ANA/NYI] Oliver Kylington for future considerations

[JKG33]

Never out of place once, from what I could tell.

Didn't even notice him out there, usually thats a positive sign for a D-man

 

[All Mighty]

Why does Anaheim do this?

We only had 6 NHL dmen after the Dumoulin trade. Kylington will be our #7/injury replacement for the rest of the season.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Can someone explain what the point of all this is?

Did the Isles just take Kylington for cap purposes?

Maybe a contract count thing? This keeps them at 48 of 50 slots.

Kylington being shipped around. Shoulda signed that 2 year Calgary offer buddy

But now he gets to hang on the beach instead of freeze his ass off in a cow town.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I feel dumb asking this but are any of the “future considerations” ever paid? Feels like a loophole to trade a player and get nothing back. I wonder when the first future considerations trade was made? Probably right after the era of guys being traded for money?

Pretty sure it’s just legalese for free, and it’s kinda hilarious. “Future considerations” just means “hey bud, we’ll think of ya, and if a future trade comes up, you know what that means? We will consider it. That’s right, that one doesn’t immediately get balled up and tossed 3 feet wide of the trash can.”

NHL should insist on changing it to “another deal in the next 5 years” just for laughs.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Why does Anaheim do this?

Only 6 D on the roster, and don’t want to call up Luneau and then be sitting one of Luneau, Zellweger,or Mintyukov every night. This is a feee 7D.

 

[JKG33]

Imagine...Edmonton could have gotten Kylington for nothing, but instead will get Walman

Yea, imagine getting a legit top 4 d-man, when you could've had a waiver fodder guy instead. Oh the horror

 

[lwvs84]

What does this mean for Zellweger?

That he finally gets a spot and isn't rotating in and out of the lineup. This is purely for the press box and have a guy there in case someone can't play play minute.

Did the Isles just take Kylington for cap purposes?

The Ducks have basically no defensemen under contract for the AHL, and after moving Dumoulin out, they would be either running only 6D on the roster or having a high potential kid sitting in the press box instead of playing AHL games and developing.

Kylington is an expiring contract D who can sit in the press box as the 7D, and then whichever kid is the #8D (probably Luneau?) can go down to the AHL and play every game and develop. If the team wants to actually play Kylington a little bit and healthy scratch a kid once in a while, that's also an option.

Yes, the Isles just took Kylington for cap purposes (and possibly also 50 contract limit purposes).

I wonder if any GM was ever like “remember those future considerations from that trade 10 years ago?…” during the late rounds of the draft lol

But then why even take him? The Avs made NYI do that?

 

[SI90]

Anaheim please take care of our boy! He will be missed on Long Island! His impact will last a lifetime however.

 

[IslesNorway]

Clearly Lou never wanted this bloke in the first place.

 

[Koffein]

Clearly Lou never wanted this bloke in the first place.

He could also have been the main piece coming back in the Nelson trade from Lou's perspective, but suddenly Anaheim jumps into the mix and gives him an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Lacombe - Gudas
Mintyukov - Trouba
Zellweger - Helleson
Kylington

 

[madmike77]

Still not sure why he didn’t just sign with the Flames. They had no depth at the time and he would have had top-4 minutes for sure. Although given his play this season, I’m not sure he would have stuck in a top-4 role.

 

[M Ace]

Who is who?
Oduya vs. Kylington!

Isles needed the veteran presence that future considerations brings to the locker room

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Just imagining the plane banking hard to the right when the news came in. Bags and people thrown across the cabin

These days, that's a good flight.

 

[dracom]

There's your Dumoulin replacement for the rest of the year. Not a bad little move for Anaheim. There was a moment not that long ago where Kylington was playing at a borderline-2nd pair level and he is still only 27.

Can’t see him replacing Dumo. More likely he’s here to be 7th D in case of injuries. We can’t keep scratching Zell or Minty.

 

[periferal]

But if he doesn't shave or agree to a low jersey number then Km Jong Lou will flip him as well.

 

[Riseonfire]

Am I the only one who thinks you shouldn't be allowed to trade nothing?

If you want to make a deal, trade a 2028 7th rounder or something.

soooo...there is a difference between those two signings? statistically what kind of impact do 7th rounders have on...idk winning the cup?

 

[Saga of the Elk]

Right, Joe Pavelski never won a Cup so therefore 7th round picks are worthless.

1997 7th rounders become head coaches who lead the McDrais to almost winning a cup. Thats about as close as they get.
