The Flames are currently retaining on Markstrom, so they can retain on two more contracts this year. Given a choice, I would offer to retain on Andersson and Coleman; Kadri is just too long a time commitment with three more years remaining.
I'd like to see Kadri traded, but because of his cap hit and contract he may be the hardest one to move. At that point, the only vets left with significant value would be Backlund and Weegar, both of whom are likely more useful as mentors than trade bait.
(But this isn't a rebuild, because Conroy never actually said so to the media.)
