I try not to think about that, lest I become depressed with the thought that we could have had Calum Ritchie AND a first coming back…

It is crazy they got that kind of value for him. Kadri is a better player imo.

I was shocked at that return.

That might be true but the market rate for a center like Kadri is a 1st, 2nd and 3rd (O’Reilly) or the Nelson package. That is what high quality centers who help teams win go for. Not too worried about Kadri’s value, there are enough trades for centers that one can make a reasonable guess it will be significantly higher than what some think it will be if or when the Flames trade him.
