Although the Calgary Flames haven't made any trades since acquiring Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost from the Philadelphia Flyers on Jan. 30 [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/latest-news/flames-complete-four-player-trade-with-flyers], one of the franchise's former players was on the move twice late Thursday night. Oliver Kylington [https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/player/oliver-kylington-8478430], a Flames second round pick (60th overall) from the 2015 Draft was dealt from the Colorado Avalanche to the New York Islanders in a blockbuster deal involving Brock Nelson [https://www.nhl.com/islanders/player/brock-nelson-8475754]. As soon as the ink dried on that trade paperwork, the Islanders sent Kylington to the Anaheim Ducks for future considerations. After six seasons in Calgary, Kylington signed a free agent with the Avalanche on Aug. 5, 2004. In 13 games, he scored a goal and collected four points. The 27-year-old from Stockholm, Sweden debuted in 2015-16 for one game, then was in and out of the lineup for years before becoming a regular in 2021-22, playing a career high 73 games with nine goals and 31 points.

Downing-Imagn Images Interestingly, Kylington made headlines for sitting out a season and a half (2022 to 2024) to focus on his mental health in Sweden. His return last season led to a standing ovation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw0vuwT7wgo&pp=ygUba3lsaW5ndG9uIHJldHVybiBzYWRkbGVkb21l] at the Saddledome. In 214 games, he's scored 18 goals with 41 assists and 59 points.
