So now you have Kadri , Frost and Rossi competing for 2 scoring centre positions . You want to develop Frost and Rossi but Kadri is coming off a career high in points and is your best Center
Assuming Frost cost 5-6 million , you’re paying your 3 centers 21-22 million combined , have no true #1, and payed a 1st (Rossi) , 2nd and 3rd(ish - Kuz value) for Frost and presumedly another prospect in the Rossi trade for the pleasure of this situation
Doesn’t feel like a good team building plan to be a truely competitive team in the next 3-5 years .

Next summer Kadri's NMC turns into a 13 team no trade list. That's 18 teams that he can't block. If he gets the sense the Flames are moving him, maybe he gets proactive and gives Conroy a few more choices this summer so that he has more control on where he goes.
I also see the Leafs being interested when they lose Marner. Brad likes to overpay for good cap hits too.
