I think Calgary was stupid to give him that deal and that they have shown they are, if not stupid, somewhat reckless in giving out big free agents deals to older players they shouldn't- Neal, Coleman, Brouwer.

Kadri himself said he could have taken more to go elsewhere. Could have been lip service. Regardless, I find it hard to believe the outbid other teams by a significant margin in terms or dollars.
Edit: easy to point out the UFA signings that haven’t panned out. The Flames seem to think that is a way to build a team and aren’t shy to do so. On the flip side of the coin they have had success here too, one could argue. Frolik, Tanev, Gudbransson, Engellend (I’d argue) were worthy signings. Far too soon to label Kadri a bust. Same goes for Coleman and Markstrom.
