This was for a contract that only had one year remaining on it.
Kadri has this year plus 5 more on his contract.
Huberdeau is in the first year of an 8 year deal.
The cost to trade one of these guys would cripple the Flames for many years.

Flames crippled this year and for many years no matter how they play it.
I'm old enough to remember how letting Tkachuk go and getting Huberdea was a big win, and Kadri was icing on the cake.
That's really working out.
If you have been a fan since 1980, you have learned to just accept the suck. Hell.
