That was my thought in my first post in this thread. Maybe Calgary will retain and you can get him for $5 million per.
Rumor: Pagnotta: Flames are exploring trade market on Nazem Kadri

I could see it happening and that's funny to me for the following reason:
So we can't keep mitts to be our 3 c because he is gonna want too much money. So we trade him for a redundant piece in Byram. Mitts resigns for a very reasonable hit and term with Colorado. Then we trade for kadri with his boat anchor contract the same off season. It would be classic Sabres comical.

it would have to be colton, girard or nuke just to try and make the cap work

I think the kadri thing is interesting because he's still playing at a damn fine level. But you're absolutely going to have to buy that contract out at some point. I don't believe any NHL team thinks otherwise. It's a ticking time bomb.

He actually played great last year. But he made it clear he wasn’t interested in going through a rebuild.

Marner + first + another good prospect for Andersson and Kadri would honestly be incredible

What GMs may be on the hot seat and not all that concerned about a contract that they potentially won't be there to deal with on the back end?
Those are your huckleberries, I imagine

May I interest you in one Jeff Skinner? Kadri is useful for a few years, Jeff comes off your books in 3 after you rebuild, Skinner never makes the playoffs in his league career.....won't happen though He wont waive to go to Calgary lol.
Not fully opposed to Kadri maybe keep some salary over there.

lol Marner isn't waiving for Calgary nor would the Flames even want him given they're clearly rebuilding
Also, the plus is very much on the wrong side anyway
He's actually been more than worth the money so far at least. It's the rest of the team that didn't work out.

He should go to Pittsburgh and play out his twilight years with the other twilights.
Flames wouldn't retain. He's worth more than 7m right now.
You'll just have to deal with it at a future point when he's no longer worth it. Ltir most likely

They are gonna get a lot for an aging center with an very long contract, no doubt.

lol what
you're not acquiring him just right now. you're acquiring the whole contract. what freak logic is this
I could see him playing at or above his salary for 3-4 more years with the remaining 2-3 years being less of a bargain.
That said, the Flames are already under the cap floor. Dealing Kadri, even with retention, puts them further under the cap floor, so they'd need to make another move.

What? I said yes, you will have to deal with the end of his contract when he won't be worth 7 million

From a Sens perspective something around Norris and Kadri makes sense. Gives them more security going into next year and Pinto can take the #2 spot. Calgary would really have to believe in Norris' doctor though, but the upside is there for him to be a long term solution at 1/2C.
I think if the Flames retain a little bit they could get get a Hertl like return. A valuable prospect or late 1st/early 2nd to help with the re-tool.
I know nothing about what the Caps are doing, but he seems like the type of guy they've been targeting and if they can get him for a couple contracts on a soft return maybe he ends up behind Strome and PLD to form a weirdly solid group of C's.

Bah gawd, thats Lou Lamariello's music!
Acquiring team just needs to have an understanding that he'll develop a debilitating equipment allergy in 3 or 4 years. Whatever perfectly coincides with his play dropping off. Worked well for the Hawks.
