Sounds like protecting the asset talk from the coach

Agreed....."at that time" is just too odd of a choice of words.

Maybe something close on him getting jettisoned.

I don’t know why but I find it genuinely funny that so many people seem to have no idea who plays for Carolina or what positions they play. Not just this thread either, it comes up all the time. And myself included. Possibly the least interesting team in the league.

If a team is one of the 18 teams not on the list, then he shouldn't get to consider anything. The Flames need to do what's best for them and get the best return, what's best for Kadri should come 2nd.
I think there is enough wiggle room on his NTC for the Flames to trade him without asking him to waive but they need a team that wasn’t obvious to step up with an offer to force the decision. Guaranteed he put the most obvious trade partners on his NTC.

Well the team was also losing rather handily so I’m guessing it’s more about that. But who knows.

No matter how good the return is, I will be sad of/when Kadri is traded. Dude has been a great Flame and Calgarian and is just generally an absolute legend.

Kadri was just wrong place at the wrong time. Woulda been better had we gotten back when it was rumored we were trying to trade Brodie for him. Kadri woulda been here during our best window with Monny, Johnny, Lindy, and Chucky.

I wonder if he still wins a cup in 2022 just with the Flames? That was a tough trade to not go through. Bennett-Kadri-Tkachuk could have been a line.

I posted earlier today, the gif's will come from Sec, but the poker(s) are in the fire and was told there's offers coming in now.
Very odd choice of words from the coach for sure

My bad - I thought I recalled they had a young Russian kid they were using at C. I assumed that was him.

EDIT: I had the wrong team entirely - it’s Yurov in Minnie I was thinking of (I get Minnie and Carolina mixed up a lot because they are similarly situated to me development wise).

But anyway, Carolina is on Kadri's no trade list.

Pitlick sent down by Minnesota and they have just over $5M in cap space.

Like I said above, I get them and Minnie mixed up as far as personnel. I don’t really know why. Maybe because they are good teams but haven’t been elite, and haven’t played for the cup recently.

There are many floaters in the last three games. Perhaps a few players have been told they may be leaving soon- I imagine that would be very deflating for a dressing room…

Digging more they have some decent pieces in my eyes still. If they want to go all in, Ryder Ritchie (looking good in NCAA, C/RW) or Kiviharju (looked good at WJC, LD)
