Player Discussion Oliver Kylington

[Lunatik]

Would make sense to give him a few games in the A. Not like he has to travel to another city.

Unless it's a road game

Has there been any more news on Kylington’s comeback?

Dead air as far as I know. Frankly I don't expect to see him in a Flames jersey ever again. Recovering from mental illness, to my knowledge, isn't like recovering from an injury. I believe its more like a lifetime battle... or perhaps a lifetime war filled with many battles. Not that I'm an expert on the subject. I'm not.

Steinberg sounded very positive yesterday- could see he coming back this season. Been practicing with the team for a while now.

Thanks. Is there a quote you can post from Strindberg on this?

It's on the drive-home show I listened to as well on the radio.
Sounds like the young man was having some bad issues.

If I had to guess, with how much is on Conroy's and the management's plate with all the potential TDL trades and potential offers, they won't put him back in until around or after TDL.

No need to rush. He started skating around November? December? I hope he's doing well.

I'd also expect announcements for Pelts around the same time.

We might have random warm bodies on the roster at TDL, there might be slots open F/D/futures could be modified in trades rapidly. It depends what the offers are and which ones are accepted. That's why I'd guess this.

Capfriendly shows him as going on LTI conditioning today…

Happy to see Oliver back in the saddle!

That's great news for the young man, hope he stays happy and healthy.

I might finally have the inspiration to go to a Wranglers game.

Boy the Wranglers could use him too. Wonder how long he'll be with them. Hopefully he takes it as a spring board and doesn't feel like he's too good for the A

Conditioning stints are time limited.

So happy for him. I hope he kills it down there and not because I enjoyed watching him in the NHL, guy deserves it after fighting through all the issues and stigma the last 18 months.

Such amazing news. What an inspiration

He can stay down for a max of 2 weeks. In that time the Wranglers play 4 games. Be interesting to see if/how many games he plays.

as someone struggling with their mental health, this brought tears to my eyes. Go Kylington!!

Happy, happy day! Let's f***ing go!!!

Sounds like just practice time for now. Step by step approach if the practices go well then maybe some game time.

 

[Bounces R Way]

oh f*** yeah

Very happy to hear Kyller is feeling good enough to get back in that saddle(-dome).

 

[Figgy44]

OMG WOW! Great news!

You know you got lots of support from your fellow Flames fans here Luna.

 

[super6646]

Glad to see his back. But again, I hope fans temper expectations significantly for now. If he can provide some help on the pp and as a depth dman at ES I’ll be a happy camper.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

How far back are we of the division lead? gonna be a bit of a climb but would be a safe bet on Vegas rn.
