And realistically, Kadri's 7x7 contract would have been given to Monahan if Monahan was capable of being healthy. It does suck that the Flames gave up a 1st and obtained an older player, but at the end of the day, Kadri is providing the same level of value on the ice that a healthier version of Monahan was providing.
Cheer up, guys. Lets save the negativity for the middle of the season when the Flames are actually disappointing us.

Does anyone really have high expectations for this season that would result in disappointment?
At this stage, I just hope they don't inflict any additional long-term damage. The only thing that would really disappoint me is trading away futures. Just don't do that.
