I don't see them drafting a top player, even if they get McKenna, and immediately being back in the playoff picture next year. Hopefully there is a strong center in the 2027 draft that puts on a Flames jersey.


All I'm saying is that during a rebuild the team should be fine with Frost as #1 center and Kadri being gone while the team waits for re-enforcements to come up through the draft.
Maybe. I was just highlighting it as a consideration. I think there is risk if you take it down so far that your young players are caved in on a nightly basis - that it can impact development.

Not saying it means you don't trade Kadri. Just saying it has to be weighed.
