Making trades that dont pan out is pure fantasy.
I would think Lawyers in Springbank would have a hard time telling their bosses they almost made a deal???

The Kadri deal you mean?
Well yes, as a matter of fact he did complete that trade.
It was only after the deal was agreed to that Kadri decided to say no. This wasn't leaked "they were close" stuff, the trade was agreed to by BT and Kyle Dubas.

"So what happened is they had a deal in place and they wanted me to move my no-trade clause," Kadri said. "But you know, obviously, for me, it was no disrespect to Calgary or the Flames organization. I love their team and I love the direction they're headed. I just figured that had I declined, I would have had a better opportunity of being a Maple Leaf next year and that's really what it came down to. I wanted to play for the Leafs next year. I wanted to be a part of that. In declining that trade I had aspirations of being a Leaf and we know clearly that didn't happen."
