Kadri and Weegar are the 2 veterans signed to big term that likely could be moved for positive value based on their seasons and playing style. I just don’t think the Flames need to rush to trade either especially if there is retention required but if the price is met then let’s go!

I doubt there is a need for retention.
Karri’s last 3 seasons were 75, 56, 87 points and he makes 7 million
Teams could sign Reinhart for free on the open market, his last 3 seasons were 94, 67, 82. But he will cost a lot more in terms of money and term than Kadri will.
Either player is probably going to deliver similar results over the next 3 years with maybe a slight edge to Reinhart. No team that would be trading for Kadri is overly concerned with year 5 of the contract and given Conroy’s laser focus on rebuilding it would make no sense to tie up two retention spots before the season even starts.
