It boggles your mind?
To acquire him the Flames gave up a first round pick as well as a player that had given their heart, soul and body to the team over their career.
Kadri was then signed to an enormous contract based to a large degree on his play over a stretch of about 70 games. A 100 point pace, as you describe it, which he had not previously shown over a very long career.
He then proceeded to play a selfish brand of hockey upon his first game with the Flames and by the end of the season, he had quit on his teammates.
I'm hoping, and to some degree, expecting a rebound. But it's going to take more than a nice sound bite for me to buy into him.
