Even if the Flames were willing to do that, good luck with Colton's NTC.

I think MacK gave a roughly half million discount. There, but he still clearly wanted to have the biggest contract in the league. Dude is making >16m for the first 3 years of his deal and then >12 for the forth. Any discount is pretty small.

Just a thought since this is Silly Season:
Give away whatever draft choices / prospects it takes to get Kadri double-retained. Ideally, send Wood in the trade as well. Then, put Kadri between Colton and LOC. Nominally that is the third line. That said, most opponents 1st lines would absolutely hate playing against that line. It could be a shut-down line against 28+ of the teams' 1st lines. Then Let Drouin - Mac - ( Ritchie? Landy?) feast on 2nd lines while Lehky - Mitts - Mikko simply feast on 3rd line forwards.
Sure, Kadri probably has only 1 - 2 truly quality years left. But double retained, he could be an amazing 4C in the remaining years 3,4 and 5.
In theory, if CMac was forced ( or wanted to) let Mikko go, the Avs could put Kadri on Mitts' wing instead of Mikko for a year.
I don't think either will happen, but a combo of letting Mikko walk and bringing in a double-retained Kadri might add 2 years to the window.

I don't believe so. That would be 13.1M X 8.
A team on the open market would have had to offer him 15M X 7 to match that. Don't forget that it was 2 summers ago when salaries were lower and Mack didn't have his monster season yet.
The "discount" was spreading the 100M contract over 8 years with the Avs vs over 7 years with any other suitor. Just like Nuke and Landy.

You're completely discounting somebody giving some money for the 8th year. Even if it is $4m it changes that a good chunk.
I also absolutely believe some idiot would have put up over $14m.

Kadri double retained for what, 5 more years?
Maybe you can set me up with Salma Hayek too while we're talking about fantasies.

By then Nuke should be suspended again and Landy retired so we will definitely have room for Kadri!Oh I see we're still wanting Kadri back

Tavares got offered 13 per 6 years ago. Mack who’s a better player getting 15 from some random team seems very feasible to me.

I’m sure Kadri would love to go back to the Avs, that’s not really a top notch reporting there. The only thing is Avs already traded Byram for a 2C and if anything, Avs don’t need another top 6 center, they need Landy and Val back or if those 2 aren’t coming back, we need wingers. We do need a 4C though
Only states with no tax get discounts. Gary Bettman invented taxes to screw over Toronto and Edmonton from getting discounts. End of discussion.
