Getting a good Glassdoor rating is nice and all but shouldn't be the priority.

Kadri wants to stay in Canada, moved his extended family here, wants to be a part of the solution, is taking on a leadership/mentorship role and has stated this is his intention. Trading him would be causing a reputational hit amongst players. Is that worth a third liner and a late first ? What does it tell the next player wanting to sign a reasonable 7-8 year deal?
