Trading Kadri makes sense for the long term outlook of the team. But as long as he wants to stay, Calgary is willing to keep him until the last year of his deal.

Carried $20M of cap space into last season.
Traded their #1 goaltender 2 years before contract expiry
Didn't add at the deadline despite being in contention
Didn't sign anyone this summer
For a team that has always spent to the cap until last season this "win as many games as possible" mandate just doesn't hold water.
