I will also push back on the deals have to be there argument.
Yeah Flames had a deal with Toronto for Kadri, which he nixed. He also nixed that deal for the Leafs.
While they go ahead and find a new trade the next day, Flames go into the next season unchanged with no improved forward scoring and Brodie leaves for nothing.
I don't buy the argument that there hasn't been a healthy market for Flames assets.
