Yeah. They have so many good young players and prospects just from the volume of picks they have had over the last few years. Everyone loves to point out they will never trade Tij Iginla because he was their first draft pick after moving to Utah but I’d still make that the price to get Kadri this year if it’s Utah. They tried to hold Tij ransom from the flames at the 2024 draft… make them pay for it now if they really want an impact player on their roster this year to finally make the playoffs. I think the flames will have quite a few really good offers for Kadri - make Utah beat those offers with something really valuable.
Have to remember it will likely take an overpay in order to get Conroy to make the Kadri trade this year. Ritchie was ranked as high as Tij is now (in terms of league-wide prospects) when he was traded for Nelson.
