Felt more like a music ran out and find a chair move to me.
Seems like he was angling for Long Island and it fell through.

I think the Flames were a choice destination. He still had other options, like the NYI, but he was clearly waiting for a playoff team to clear some cap space. Obviously, he would've preferred re-signing with COL, but if I recall correctly they only had $5-5.5M they could spend on Kadri.
I could see a team like the Flames being a top 5 choice at the time. A great team on paper, lots of regular season success under the reigning Jack Adams winner in Sutter, very good D, and a top goalie.
