Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[Habsy]

I think he got selective with the teams, or held out for that extra million or extra year. There’s no way he had no big offer to start out.

This is his last big contract and coming off an amazing season. He's holding out for $$$.

What might be happening is Lou put an offer on the table and is holding firm while Kadri tries to find more.

I don't see Kadri wanting to go to the island for anything less than 7 years though. I'm sure he can get shorter deals elsewhere.

Maybe. I'm not sure any of the destinations left that have the space/wouldn't have to move big money first are that enticing though.

 

[Habsy]

Good point. Who the heck can afford even a $7m tag right now? Is there even a team that can aside from the islanders?

No team that would give him 7 x $7. (Anaheim, Buffalo, Ottawa, University of Tuscon).

5 x 7M would have been a nice bag for someone who “broke out” at 31

He could have raped Calgary at one point. His agent fucked up IMO.

agent? I'm sure his agent was fine with his client living in Calgary. Naz has a hate on for that place. Not his agent's fault.

Don't you think his agent would know the market was thin and really impress that upon Kadri?

Although the fact he hasn't fired his agent could mean Kadri knows it's his own fault. I just think it's the agents job to get through to his client.

Are non whites allowed in Berta though?

I also had no idea subban was a UFA.

 

[JackBurton]

Kadri's team has fucked this up so bad. His time to sign was July 13th

He's heading towards ESPN.

 

[Habsy]

Good point. I mean even you just barely make the cut there.

Probably should take a one year 3M prove it deal with us.

FIRE HIS AGENT!

Worst case Kadri just goes back to the Avs on a discount one year deal.

 

[uncus]

At this point, no matter where he goes, I don't think we're seeing a 7 year and $8/9M contract.

The market has to have cooled considerably. Certain teams went with other options. Those that remain aren't under any pressure to go nuts anymore.

If you're a UFA, you need to capitalize on the frenzy within the first day or two.

Kadri is probably going through the same thing Klingberg went through before he axed his

Hold off until a team in dire straights for the playoffs blows up something else to make room for him ... Is Burke still in the NHL? lol

 

[uncus]

there will always be room for a team to find the money for a player ... guess it all depends on how serious the job threat is at the moment

 

[Habsy]

TLDR: determined the league is against every team
