Edmonds Kadri Build

TB doesn't have the salary cap space,and Al Murray is extremely high on Edmunds

Yzerman isn't gaining to sign Kadri to a 7yr contract. I'd be surprised if Yzerman signs Kadri at all.

Yeah I'm on the he's not signing him at all side ,but he made a lot bigger FA splash than I predicted.

Not good enough defensively?

No it's his character and the length of his contract. He gave Chiarot a 4 years and popular perception of player ability aside that was surprising. So far he has done everything slowly. Every move has been made minimizing risk making sure every piece fits before making it more permanent. A lot of people are saying he's trying to speed up the rebuild by signing a bunch of UFAs and I think that it's wrong. This is likely the last season of Detroit being in the lottery and he wants to save the picks he has and Chiarot getting a 4yr deal could've been what it took to sign him and Detroit needed someone on the left side who can play a couple of seasons giving time for some of the prospects to develop. A lot of people are predicting a big move coming and it probably is but I wouldn't expect it until the TDL.
