Calgary isn’t retaining 50% on Kadri, and that offer doesn’t come close to what the Flames are targeting. They’re looking for a young center or a young LHD, not wingers, not aging cap dumps, and not 30 plus depth pieces. If Dallas wants Kadri and Whitecloud, the return has to actually match Calgary’s needs. Calgary might retain $1–1.5M, but that level of retention is going to cost Dallas real assets.
