They want to win now. It makes sense for them

lou sucks, only people that think hes good are in denial isles fans and 40+ leaf fans

Good move. Anyone other than the islanders gets him and people are saying how good of a move it is

GM of the year!

Then why 7 years?

i can't wait for Kadri to turn into a 50 point player right after the contract is signed

That’s the kind of deal veterans sign

cry about it

Lmao wrong, everyone was discussing pre-FA about how someone was going to overpay like this for Kadri.

Well yeah but like, that’s not exactly the type of contract you want to give out in win-now mode in my opinion. A short term deal with even higher AAV than $7M would’ve been excellent for the Islanders, not this.

The cap hit means more than the term in this flat cap era of uncertainty. If they win a Stanley cup in the next couple of years and are paying Kadri 7 million in 2026 or 2027 who cares? By then you’re likely rebuilding the team

I’m correct. You’re both wrong

It’s going to be funny when the isles are struggling to sign Barzal, Wahlstrom and Sorokin due to that albatross Kadri contract

Im begging you to do the slightest bit of research before spewing nonsense

like i said youre a delusional isles fans that still think you have 2003 lou and convince yourself the isles got shafted last year

If it happened to you you’d say the same thing

LOL i just took a shot but wow was i right, poor islanders, 16 points out of a playoff spot yeah they got shafted lmao

For sure dude

in denial

Whatever makes you happy

Lmao what research? If they give Kadri this rumored contract they will have around 12 million next off-season to sign Barzal, Wahlstrom and Mayfield, plus they have Sorokin’s incoming huge raise.

This just in, you don’t need to keep every single player you employ believe it or not. Why didn’t the canes re-sign Trocheck????? Oh, because they didn’t need him? The Isles will re-sign Barzal and Sorokin easily and if they need to replace Wahlstrom and Mayfield with cheaper players, so be it.

Nice low ball effort

glass houses

If you think you're correct and I'm not then you were in a coma during June and July. Nazem Kadri could not have had a bigger consensus to receive way more than he deserves because of how good he was in his contract year.
