It is not at all a good point since the only reason Colorado was able to turn Barrie into Kadri in the first place was because Kadri exhausted his trade vetos on teams other than Colorado. It's not like the Avalanche did something above and beyond what the Flames did. They made the same deal after the fact when circumstances outside of every team's control prevented Kadri from becoming a Calgary Flame. In other words, Colorado got lucky.
As usual, Flash Walken has selected facts to suit his own tired narrative about how the Flames are the worst NHL franchise in recent history.
