Kadri and Vladar are about $9M combined for 8 years combined (6 for Kadri, 2 for Vladar). So total $$$ traded is quite similar.
Kadri has 2 years more than Girard and Colton. But helps Colorado more in their immediate winning window.
Flames get younger with Girard (25) and Colton (27) and I think both guys actually have potentially better longer term roles here. Flames could use an offensive, puck mover than can QB and Girard can do that (He's been passed by Makar, Byram, Toews in Colorado). Colton is a guy that I think could be a 3rd line center on the team through a rebuild, some pump and dump potential if he gets more minutes and PP time to inflate his counting stats.

Not going young enough IMO.
Should be aiming for that 18-25 range. Those guys are what they are pretty much.
