His contract is a deal now and it'll probably still look like a deal when it expires. Kadri's is still market, and I'm sure teams would be interested in him if he were made available and interested in moving on. He brings quite a bit of value to Calgary for the rebuild, though, as long as he keeps playing and mentoring like he did this last year (and doesn't go back to the first year I don't give a crap Kadri).
Calgary has a much better, deeper and more intriguing prospect base now than they had in 2013 (Gaudreau was 1 at the time, but the list got weak quickly and fell off hard after Jon Gillies at 4 or 5). Gaudreau turned into a superstar but Calgary has a few young guys now at forward, defence and in goal that could really explode.
Lots more to like these days than back then.

Agree I Would take now. We have four picks in the first two rounds i would assume at least one is a defencemen. Out if our group of defencemen i would expect 3 or 4 to make the nhl in what capacities remains to be seen. Especially if our top pick is a buium, parehk, Dickinson, or yakemchuk.
Pelletier, coronato, klapka, lipinski, honzek should all be nhl’ers and whatever comes in this draft. Kerins have my doubts. Stormgren is my darkhorse. Suniev li like but he could stay in college.
Weegars contract isnt a burden. Huby overpaid but still a top six, kadri has earned his money this year, but at the end of the day we still have to ice entire team they can’t all be 18.
We have cap space may possibly add more picks if markstrom and eat bread go, and who knows right now what kuznenko and sharangovich want to do but i think sharangovich would return a pretty good package. Anderson could say he wents out he could return a package better than lindholm.
Honestly dont think its even close.
