“The Flames want to get rid of Kadri’s contract right now, and the Canadiens would benefit from slotting Kadri on the second line.

If Kirby Dach isn’t part of the trade – which is really not out of the question – then you place him as the third-line center, and now you’re really in business. Now it starts to make sense!

35 goals on a team that missed the playoffs, a team that isn’t offense-oriented..

And if the Flames want us to absorb Kadri’s entire contract, all $7 million, then it won’t cost anything.”
