Yeah, Kadri brings that recent cup experience to add with Coleman's. That is pretty big. Plus Toffoli... that's three players in the top 6 that know what it takes to win. Add to that, Lucic and Lewis in the bottom 6.
Kadri was a pretty important player in the Avs run to the Cup as well. Sutter is probably going to lean on him hard. He also brings his experience playing on the same team as the best player in the league who is known to have really good off ice habits. Some people have said that MacKinnon's insistence on healthy off ice habits for his team is a big reason that the Avs have been successful, so hopefully Kadri brings some of that to the Flames as well. Not that I think the Flames players are bad off the ice, but it's all part of knowing what it takes to win.
