Friedman says he has nothing to add on the Kadri reporting.
On Coleman, he says that Coleman will be happy to stay in Calgary.
There is a lot of interest in Coleman
Teams have told Friedman not to buy into the Montreal talk, that other teams may have an advantage on Coleman (I think what Friedman is saying is that there are other teams that Coleman would prefer to move to before Montreal).

There's no way the Flames would not allow Andersson to talk with other teams about an extension, because an extension could significantly increase the return the Flames would get in a trade. So I wouldn't read anything into Friedman getting that sense, unless they're worried that he would refuse to waive his NTC to get traded to a team that was talking about a lower $$ extension.
