It seems reasonable to me to assume Colorado jumped in with a better offer that the flames couldn’t or wouldn’t match, before the ask if Kadri was even necessary. This could explain the confusion about the waive/no waive of the NTC to Calgary with the media.
Either way, I’m pretty happy that we didn’t cough up that price for Kadri. We should be able to move to another target with the Brodie currency (it Kreider or some other comparable winger)

I've been thinking about this too... and even if we retained on brodie, one could argue that kerfoot+Barrie is a much better package than brodie + jankowski... so I wonder if toronto came back asking for Bennett.
