Thinking out of the box

Giving Kadri 8 mill x 5 would be a huge mistake. He turns 32 in a few months and next season his numbers are going to fall off a cliff. I also don’t think Kadri is good as a winger.

It would take him through his age 36 season its true but he is the perfect fit next to barzal and hes going to get that from someone.

There’s maybe 2 players in the last decade who have signed a long term deal after their age 30 season and lived up to it. I don’t see Kadri as a perfect fit next to Barzal because he’s not as engaged when he’s playing wing.

Kadri will struggle to put up more than 55 points next season and he’s not a star player that will put the isles over the top. There’s better ways to spend 8 mill than on a player who can fall off a cliff at any moment.

There’s only one player worth signing in free agency and that’s Gaudreau if he’s willing to sign. He’s a superstar so you take the risk, Kadri is having a career season at age 31 on a super team.

The two teams that will be interested in signing Kadri are Philly and Seattle, both who have terrible GMs

I didnt realize you were a prophet. Gaudreau would be a terrible investment. Hes had major consistency problems then in a contract year he has a monster season youre going to give him an 8 figure contract only for him to revert back to the player that he is, a 70 point possession winger. Hes not a superstar and i hope they dont pay him what hes gonna get. Let calgary overpay him

It’s just a fact, nothing I said was false. A terrible investment lol - Over the past 3 years, Gaudreau has been a top 3 lw in the game. He’s never had a problem with consistency. He’s not a possession winger, he’s a winger that dominates quality shot share. He’s also consistently increased the rate that his team scores. Should be a Hart finalist.

Speaking of 70 points, Kadri has never hit 70 points in his career until this past season. It’s also ironic that you’re talking about contract seasons and then giving Kadri 8 mill after his numbers got boosted on a super team.gaudreau was a superstar before this season.
