Player Discussion Oliver Kylington

[Some Other Flame]

Normal people with normal jobs can't afford to stay away from work for 4+ months, no matter the reason.

Just another reason why North America kinda sucks

Sweden - Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion - European Commission

I doubt he's coming back this year at this point, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if next year was a step back for him.

no one man should have all that raw sexual power

Yes one man should, and does.

Is it coincidence that he's re-appeared around Easter? Who's to say?

 

[Kranix]

Waiting for sexy pick leaning on a roman column and by a waterfall...on a plane back to Calgary

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Imagine the pairings

Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Tanev
Zadorov-Weegar

Call up Wolf and that’s a contender with any group of forwards

 

[herashak]

Kylington finessed 2.5 M to do CrossFit for the year

 

[Fig]

Kettle balls... I mean bells!

 

[cannucky]

Anybody know if the situation with his mum has changed ?

 

[BigRangy]

Anybody know if the situation with his mum has changed ?

Pretty sure it’s news to everyone that there’s a situation with his mum. Details?

 

[Tofveve]

I can't honestly believe he'll be able to just slide right in and be the man after taking a year off. Just can't see it. Would love to be wrong though.

Last report I heard was he was staying home with his sick mum , that's the personal reasons he didn't report to camp over and the league allowed us to claim it as LTIR . Most here have talked about it , possibly only news to you ?

Yeah I couldn't agree with you more , I expect a pretty steep ramp up for him to get back to NHL speed . But hey Fingers crossed eh .

Last report I heard was he was staying home with his sick mum

There has been literally zero reports about that. Not a single word in Swedish media.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

It was speculation, nothing more. Nobody's quite sure what he's going through, except that it's not substance related.

Let's keep our speculation out of it please and thanks. Let's be respectful of what he's going through.

 

[CamPopplestone]

I only wish we could slide his contract since he never even reported. I don't have issues with him staying away, just kinda feels sucky to burn half his bridge deal when he didn't even do camp

Cuts both ways. If he struggles this season after taking a year off his next contract is going to be significantly smaller than if he'd kept his momentum up from last season.

 

[Kranix]

Those kettlebells he was doing weren't even that impressive dawg. Work to be done

 

[Mobiandi]

Probably the only Flame I would be upset about losing

 

[SaintMorose]

Flames president Don Maloney: Oliver Kylington is ‘excited about coming back next season’

Friends, we have good news to share about the status of a certain Oliv...

[Kranix]

This will be his Giordano style self-exile, and he'll come back a Norris winner.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

He will be top 5 next year

Makar
Heiskanen
Hedman (if healthy)
Karlsson
-> Kylington
Fox

It could be as simple as finding new meds as some can cause false positives. Or since he hasn't played, his conditioning may not be up to par, and he needs to build that up some more before participating.

 

[flames23]

Just read the news. Hope he's back as soon as he's ready/able. Was a big missing piece last year. Weegar was a great add, but we missed that silky skating and speed from Shill.
