Exactly. So Kadri says no to the Flames, then the Leafs turn around and deal him anyway. Fine. But you think they would say "look, we're going to move you regardless." At that point he basically says "go for it, I don't care" or goes to the Flames.
So when he says no offense to Calgary and he loves what the team is doing etc thats all a bunch of BS. He chose what was behind the curtain rather than the Flames.
