Imagine we handed out more money to Kadri than any other team in the league, treated him well while he played here, then ASKED him if he would be open to a trade to a contender because the organization was year 2 into a rebuild.

Believe Kadri had more money on the table from Columbus or the Islanders. Perhaps both.
