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.

Kadri was the Flames best player for the first half of the season
also, Monahan played through injury for sure but the Flames had more than their fair share of "nights off" with Monahan in the lineup too
Also its not Kadri's fault the Flames traded a first for cap space
7M is not a 100 point player salary either, its really not all that enormous
We don't know what's going on with players, he was likely injured and didn't have a full summer of training. He sure as #### had heart in the playoffs for the Avs, I don't think you just lose that.
All our fan favourites with heart now on other teams don't have many rings last I checked
Gaudreau? Nope
Tkachuk? Nope
Gio? Nope
