Classic-after watching and waiting, I go off the grid for a bit, and the NHL blows up. Of course.
My thoughts on the Kadri signing-WAY too much term given that kind of AAV. Kadri has the year of his life at 31 years old, and for that you give him 7 x 7 million?! If it was a one year deal-excellent signing. But paying NAZEM KADRI-a man who has scored more than 65 points in a season ONCE in his decade+ long career-$7 million a year until he's 39?! That's going to hurt the Flames big time down the road, and this isn't even counting the Huberdeau extension, which also has the potential to age quite poorly.
Admittedly, the Flames will be very, very good for the next couple of years. They'll be a fun team to watch. But long-term, this is going to bring pain to Calgary, no question.
Thoughts on the Monahan trade-terrific move by Kent Hughes getting the Habs another 1st. The conditions are ridiculously complicated on the surface, but not that crazy when you read through them slowly. But for CGY, they're really in win-now mode, if they don't succeed they're in for rough times in a few years-no cap space and no picks will do that to you.
Thoughts on Carey Price-it would be a bleeding shame if he never plays again. What a career. Hope he has success.
