I would tell Kadri we are trading you as things have changed and unfortunately we are not a contender like you signed up for. What teams would you consider.
And then trade Kadri, Coleman, Backlund. Get the tank rolling. I'd also sew if anyone would take Huberdeau if we retained.

And I would tell the Flames eff you. I have a NTC. So if you are going to trade me here is the one and only team I will maybe accept for. You aren't trading me unless I say so.
And guess what. My agent is going to the press to make sure everyone knows.
Good luck getting a return for that.
Going to him with that type of ultimatum, for a guy that is signed here for term, and has all the control right now, would likely damage the relationship with him, the rest of the team, potential future free agents - and create a situation where it would be impossible to extract real value.
The Flames have to operate in the real world.
Also I think you are wildly optimistic on the Sharks. I love their prospects but they are a LOOOONG way from being a contender, even to achieve the lowly levels of those 0% Stars.
