The only people that Kadri owes playing at a 100% for is his teammates. Even that's contentious if he doesn't get along with them or buy in to the team concept.

The Calgary Flames are obliged to do whatever it takes to earn fan interest and revenue, and having players show effort is a perfectly acceptable fan criterion. Let's say I go to a couple movies in theatres and notice a particular actor seeming to be phoning in their performances; by your line of thinking if I tell you "those movies kinda sucked, that one actor in particular is bad" that makes me "entitled"? That's nuts. It's perfectly reasonable. If the Calgary Flames want me to watch their product you're god-damned right I expect them to be trying their hardest at all times.
If you just sit there and accept whatever crap the Calgary Flames or any other sports team see fit to put in front of you, you are masochists and suckers.
