As I mentioned in the other posts, trading Kadri last year might not have been an option, but it's still a comparable for the value he had last year, and likely in the offseason.
My point was that it isn't very difficult to understand where Rhett is coming from. It isn't as though he just made things up in an attempt to make the organization look bad. If he was doing exactly the same thing but praising the Flames, no one would have a problem with it.

I'd agree if it was raised as a concern without a jump off a cliff summary to it.
I'd agree if the guy wasn't negative about pretty much every single thing including not thinking the team was rebuilding when clearly they are.
I'd agree if he wasn't on record for saying Kadri was washed twice in the off season meaning any value now should be an uptick from where he was coming from.
You're picking the wrong horse for a level balance to unbridled optimism.
