I don’t think it is a dick move as both players would have to waive to make it happen. I thought with Kadri a new GM makes it easier and Kadri would sign off if Sutter was staying. Now he would probably more inclined to stay considering Maloney says this team is in win now and there is potentially a new rink coming in 3-4 years so maybe Kadri would rather stay here for the duration of his deal?
Horvat got paid huge and basically got an extra 1.5M AAV based on his hot start to this season and the Islanders wanting to justify the trade they overpaid which is not that different to the Flames with Huberdeau/Weegar.
I agree it is far fetched and unlikely but I do think it makes some sense for both parties and could justify it in that regard.
