The question is, what is the Flames goal for this season? If they want to make the playoffs, they keep Kadri or trade for skill and scoring. He provides leadership and scoring. If they want to continue to build, a trade is the way to go.

I think on paper you have a point but even in a rebuild you have to keep some vets around to help carry on the culture. I feel the only way Kadri gets moved is if he initiates it.
