Flames Gm Treliving Explains What Happened On His Big Day

Kadri signed a seven-year, $49 million contract with the Flames on Thursday. Treliving said he’s been eyeing the center for a while. He had to try to acquire Kadri via trade during his time with the Toronto Maple Leafs. “He has a unique combination of skill and grunt and he plays a first center ice position,” Treliving said Thursday. “He’s really developed the ability to play in all kinds of situations, as kids do throughout their careers as they mature. “But that mix is ​​unique, you know? He can play on the power play, he can play heavy, he’s highly, highly competitive, highly skilled, smart player, he plays in the center of the ice. He’s our kind of player.” Why did it take so long? “It’s free agency,” Treliving said. “You try to find a fit, a number that works for him and a number that works for us. And then when you get there, it’s a matter of finding space.” The Flames GM also pulled the trigger on a trade to find that cap. Calgary sent Sean Monahan, along with a conditional 2025 first-round pick, to the Montreal Canadiens for future consideration. “Monty’s been here a long time and you’re not going to find a better kid. I can’t say enough good things about him,” Treliving said. “So you’re always sad when you see those guys go and he’s their teammate. He’s a good friend of theirs, but they’re excited to … add a good player with a championship.” Treliving was reluctant to give up his first-round pick, but the move had to be made for Kadri to make his way to Calgary. “You hate to do it, but when there’s no space, you’ve got to find space,” he said. “If you’re going to make the move to bring the player in, you’ve got to create the space — and when we’ve been living here in a capless world for the last few years. You know unfortunately that’s the cost business and it’s hard to swallow.”
