Are you purposely being ignorant? Did you even read what I said before you posted?His current team didnt want him. He just got signed in August for 1 year 1 million dollar deal and we have posters saying he is better than Manson and Chabot. Yeah im the issue here not you guys. The mental gymnastic is impressive I have to say. Dont let the actual real time facts of how this played out get in the way of a hyperbolic argument.
- Calgary offered him a 2 year deal at roughly the same cap hit as Bean
- Kylington held out because his agent convinced him he could do better (the reported 4 year offer from Washington that was on the table)
- Calgary then went and signed local born kid Jake Bean on day 1 of Free Agency. Washington made the offer but Kylington decided to circle back to Calgary to see if they would match. They did not and meanwhile Washington didn't wait either and proceeded to trade for Chychrun on July 1st as well.
- Kylington was then left with 2 teams who did not wait around for him to make a decision. So he went and looked around the league to see if anyone else would offer him that multi year deal.
- No one did so come August he bit his pride and signed a 1 year prove it deal.
What is factual is Kylington has only played 33 games out of the last 164 potential games. That is a big red flag for any team regardless of how well he has played. He just signed a 1 year 1 mill deal in August, do you genuinely think he was looking for that since the start of July? No of course not, as any team would take that risk in a heartbeat. These kind of things happen every year. For example Tarasenko signed a 1 year deal on July 27th last year and Tatar signed a 1 year deal September 12th. Dumba didn't sign until early August either
