If I'm retaining 50% and paying $10.5M for him to help you win a cup then I'd want another 1st round pick on top of that.
My guess is teams are willing to pay the price Conroy wants for Kadri without retention, but want retention.
And aren't willing to pay the price that Conroy actually would want for full retention.

My guess is for most teams Kadri without retention is a non-starter. Everything COL has been doing for the last couple years has been with one eye to the $$$$ it will cost to re-sign Makar. If taking on Kadri's full cap hit jeopardizes that, they won't do it.
