It's not really that he wants to be in Calgary more than make a push for a cup, but he's a soldier and will keep giving it his all in Calgary. Kadri would have pouted and dropped his effort and offseason trade value. There were some suggestions already that he and his agent were super pissed he wasn't moved by the trade deadline morning.

They needed to move Kadri. Coleman they can move in the offseason or next year's deadline.
There is nothing about Kadri and how he handled himself as a Flame that suggests he would have been unprofessional and pout had he not been moved.

Every report from those around him suggest that he was a great teammate and a great Flame. There is no reason he wouldn't have continued to be so, even if deep down, he would rather have had another shot at a cup.
