So no, I don't think Kadri has any interest in Cup chasing again over where he is now.

It will be interesting to see if he maintains that outlook if the Flames trade Lindholm, Tanev, Hanafin, etc and they fall out of the playoff picture. Personally I am not in any hurry to trade Kadri. He is playing well and embracing playing with the young guys. I just have to wonder if a guy like that stays committed if the Flames are in a rebuild.
