Gives the Stars a pretty deep forward group for a run with cap space for another dman, especially if a trade like that happens near the deadline.

With the duration remaining on Kadri's contract, 20% retention makes no sense from the Flames' perspective. It either has to be enough retention (ideally 50%) that it's worth substantial assets in return, or it's just not worth tying up one of only three retention slots for 4.5 seasons.
