Again ... may not be true. But we don't know.
I can be reasonably sure because that's a problem that's easily remedied. If said hypothetical UFA is happy with Calgary, but doesn't want to be traded from Calgary, or wants to have full control , then he can negotiate a full NMC for the duration of his contract with the Flames.

Since Kadri's agent has negotiated a 13 team no trade clause, he gets a say on 13 teams and that's it. If the Flames are set on the trade route then they should take the best offer, and not worry themselves about hypothetical hurt feelings.

It certainly does, but if he was following his contract to the letter of the law it shouldn't have mattered.
