HKSR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 2 minutes ago, Bob Long said: There's certainly a market for him... $7M AAV, but recently just put up 75 points. He will probably be about the same kinda player for another 2 or 3 years until he regresses into a 60 to 65 point guy... but he still does things right without the puck. He's probably gonna be decent value for the remainder of his contract (5 years left). Maybe overpaid by $1M to $1.5M in the last year or 2 of his deal.

He's probably gonna be decent value for the remainder of his contract (5 years left). Maybe overpaid by $1M to $1.5M in the last year or 2 of his deal. There's definitely a market for him if they retain, which wouldn't surprise me Getting assets back now and freeing up a good chunk of his cap space would probably be a win for Calgary, it appears they're serious about retooling/rebuilding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Just now, Coconuts said: There's definitely a market for him if they retain, which wouldn't surprise me Getting assets back now and freeing up a good chunk of his cap space would probably be a win for Calgary, it appears they're serious about retooling/rebuilding I don't even think they'd need to retain to get value back for Kadri. Let's say he puts up two more 70+ point seasons, then regresses to 55 to 60 points. The cap going up by then would translate to pretty average value for the cap hit. Wouldn't be an anchor or anything, that's for sure. If Calgary retains $1M, then they would certainly get quite a bit back. Just imagine if Kadri were a UFA this year. How much would one be willing to pay for a 2-way, gritty, 75pt centre? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone would be... like I mentioned above... 2-way, gritty, Stanley Cup winning 75pt centre that can win a ton of draws too? If that was an option in the UFA market, he would absolutely get $7M+ ... probably even close to $8M given the lack of high end centres this year.

I know, I just can't stand him my guess is they get a 2nd for him from Utah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, it's interesting how his career has gone Always nice to see former Toronto picks/players go on to have success elsewhere I'm still chuckling about Verhaeghe for example, turned into a star and just won a cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Shockingly with the Avs now done with Nicushkin (rumours his contract may be terminated due to repeated violations) there's a potential home for him if there's sone retention back in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Kadri has a full NMC, but yet CGY is exploring a trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 33, 34 in October, and 5 more years on his contract at 7mil. He's still productive now. But with that much term and his current age already being closer to mid 30s than early 30s. Eh. Good luck. Might have to come with 1mil retention. At least. But the guy is still good like I said, might be a market for him. Just not a very big one with the NMC. Anyone with cap he might not even want to go to.

Fanuck Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I can see the CGY sales pitch right now: Available: older veteran cheap shot specialist with some productive years possibly remaining on an untradeable contract. All trades/offers considered. Comes with 3 year old Stanley Cup ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 5 minutes ago, Coconuts said: That's what I keep trying to say... CGY isn't gonna rebuild. They have guys locked in long term and now have a TON of cap space to reload. They're gonna be active this UFA season and will likely have a team capable of battling for a WC spot next year while still holding a TON of futures.

PavelB Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Kadri is the type of player you can't stand when he's on the other team, but you absolutely love when he's on your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if teams are calling on him that kind of puts a damper on those saying teams ain't interested in his contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
