His family is all here and, by all accounts, he loves living here.
So it’s a team that’s winning, is in a playoff spot, is a tight group and could be considered to have a bright future with all the young talent on the way. Kadri is also considered a leader on a team for likely the first time in his NHL career. Which most players appreciate.
All that sounds like a situation where a player would not want to leave. Colorado probably has a better chance at a cup but I bet they are not feeling as good as a team right now as the flames are.

100% agree with you about the importance of having a team where everyone likes each other and actually gets along with each other. I have started to take what I read/hear about how a locker room is with a giant grain of salt after how many times it's turned out to be lies and just what people say. Even when Weegar was interviewed recently by Steinberg at the charity poker event, he mentioned how they always say that the guys are close and that it's the closest the team has ever been when they don't mean it, but this time when he says it, it's "really true". Lol.
