Exactly, and trading Kadri wouldn't change that or make it any worse.

I can't say yes to all those ... I don't know.
But I'd sure want to be sure about those variables before I went "cut throat" from what is likely one of the bottom 7-8 most attractive franchises in the sport.

I remember a very different Kadri under D. Sutter. One that quit on the team half a year into his 7-year contract. I also remember him playing like he doesn't care for the first month + under Huska until Zary and Pospisil got called up. He has been a leader on this team since, and hasn't complained or anything, but my first impression still stuck around.
