There have been plenty of "he isnt going anywhere so stop talking about it" posts. Which didn't make sense even before these comments.
The Flames missed the playoffs, haven't done much to improve despite cap space and assets, and have traded away several top players. Kadri's view point may have changed.
I also think people are overplaying the reputation card. Players with no trades get moved all of the time and the Flames are rebuilding. Investigating options with your veterans is just part of the job. This isn't Conroy asking for Kadri to waive his NMC. It is him asking if he wants to stick around through a rebuild or of he is open to a move. There is nothing wrong with that.
