The Calgary Flames are basically done their off-season to-do list. Well, mostly, as the Flames still have a pending restricted free agent left to sign: Swedish defenseman Oliver Kylington.
What’s taking so dang long with Kylington? Well, it probably stems from two things: the Flames minuscule cap space, and the odd mix of comparable players who have recently signed deals.
About Kylington
Kylington was a Flames’ second round pick, 60th overall, in the 2015 NHL Draft. Considering that weekend gave the Flames Andrew Mangiapane and Rasmus Andersson (and eventually Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm), it’s already a win.
