Kadri was our best player this year - saying he has negative value misses the mark.
Weegar is still getting better every year, is only 30, and just had a 20 goal season. If he were a UFA, he'd be looking for something in the 8s. He is the furthest thing from negative value.
As for the contracts being a hindrance to a rebuild, not at all. Those 3 will be the veterans going forward, and their contracts will only serve to keep them over the floor. In 4 or 5 or 6 years, when the Flames are getting competitive, and some ELCs are starting to roll over, Kadri's contract will be easy enough to move, and Weegar may still be valuable. Huberdeau's is an anchor. But teams can survive one anchor contract cough#Nurse#cough
