With that said, CGY did not make Kadri available, at no point did Craig ask Kadri to waive anything for a trade.
This because Kadri has been very adamant that he wants to WIN with Calgary and bringing a cup here is his #1 priority.
He loves the city, the team, the "rebuilding" or "retool" whatever label you want to put on it he wants to be here for it.
He was our best forward for most of the year
He plays with that edge that every team wants both all year long and in the playoffs
Plays a position we greatly need
Yet some want to trade him for magic beans or unproven prospects?
This team needs guy whos give a #### and want to be here.
We got a guy dedicated to this teams success and his attitude fits exactly what Craig is looking for to push the young guys and yet some hope to trade him because his contract sucks?
Id wager half the teams in the league would take Kadri today @ his full CAP and slot him in as #2C for instant success, he's great at what he does and has only been better with age.
Some really hot takes in here...yikes.

Yeah but Rhett says we should trade him
