No.

Flames never retain and you're expecting them to retain 5 1/2 years of Kadri? 🤭

Yeah can't see Calgary retaining that much on Kadri for that long for that low of a price tbh

Aside from the retention issue illuminated by the two worthies above, I'm gonna hazard a guess that Kadri isn't anxious to waive his NMC to go back to the fanbase that effectively ran him out of town for the excesses in his play.

You think flames would take Brodie for the remainder of the year to make the cap work without retention?

(sigh)

Can someone please explain to too many Leafs fans that teams are not going to give them astronomical amounts of retention for free? In fact, in this AGM, Calgary would be paying Toronto to give them like 17M in retention, eating up two slots this season (when they have 47 players to trade) and one for another five years.
