Kadri was coming off a career high in points, scoring 87 points in 71 games, then following it up with 15 points in 16 playoff games.
Coming off a career high and a Stanley Cup, Kadri was hoping to hit it big in free agency on what could possibly be his last NHL contract, but after a month, ended up signing for less money than he was originally looking for, taking a 7-year deal worth $49,000,000 in total with the Calgary Flames.
But this wasn't Kadri's only offer, NHL Insider Pierre LeBrun reported that Kadri turned down a 6 year deal worth $51,000,000 with another NHL team.
