Kadri isn't a dump. He's a guy on pace for another 30 goal season. He might be a dump in 2-4 years, but he certainly isn't one now.
Mittelstadt is on pace for another 15 goal season. He is in the coach's doghouse and for the last game they had to move Rantanen from #1RW to #2C so they can demote Mittelstadt to the third line.
Kadri >>> Mittelstadt.

Yes, the team is immediately worse with Middelstadt in Kadri's spot. This would make team tank very happy but I can't see the Flames entertaining the idea of trading Kadri while in a playoff spot.
Also, if Kadri has no interest in being traded then the whole point is moot... but it was a fun thought exercise.
