The commitment to him is short so the Flames will have a chance to flip him next year as a rental.
The best thing for the Flames though would be getting rid of the next 5 years of the Kadri contract. Not being locked into that deal will be helpful when they hopefully have some high end youngsters coming off ELC that need long term big money extensions
