Seravalli: Kadri watch- Contract offer will start at 8mil AAV

[UrbanImpact]

Wowza, is Kadri actually going to get paid 8+ mil on a long term contract? He will be 32 yrs old at the start of this season. He has had 2 seasons of over 60 points.

Pleaseeeeeeee include a full NMC

 

[Pucklington]

Wow... that's a mistake.

 

[trick9]

Interesting.

Full NMC?

 

[Reinhart]

I hope he makes sure to make it buy-out proof too.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Paying Kadri $8 million is problematic in itself, but a contract beyond 4 years at that rate (which Kadri will want) is going to be painful. It will likely look awful after 3 years, and you aren’t really getting anything beyond market value from years 1-3 to make up for it.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Go get that bag, Naz!!

 

[JKG33]

Oh boy I sure hope he doesn't go to a team I like. What a mistake this contract will be

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Sather-esque.

 

[General Disarray]

Yikes

 

[BertCorbeau]

Not surprised that some team would ante up for him.

This should be a fun one to watch.

 

[trick9]

Rangers and Islanders bidding war?

When whale hunting is in your organizational DNA, what are you going to do?

 

[gdsmack267]

If you made this offer on NHL 22 GM mode would the owner fire you?

[AvsWraith]

Good luck! Contract year on a really hungry cup team, so no way he hits those numbers again.

 

[NoelVilla]

I sure hope so. That will destroy Rangers and the good thing they have going.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

That's one way to destroy your teams cap structure long term.

 

[WhoTagz]

I mean hey if it brings the rangers over the top and they win a cup in two years i am fine with the kickback but if not its not worth at all

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Atta boy Naz, get that loot - deserve it, what a great year for you and your family!

 

[Glorydays22]

I'm just curious how? Rangers are in cap hell.

 

[SENStastic]

100% support this. 8.5Mx7, Kadri deserves to live it up in NY.

 

[HaNotsri]

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

 

[wonton15]

Rangers should honestly steer clear of any long term 8m+ contract... but I hope they do it

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Wow... that's a mistake.

At the rumored price and term, absolutely.

Sucks because Kadri would be the perfect fit as the Rangers 2C in style, attitude, personality and all.

Luckily the Rangers don't have the capspace to sign him at the rumored asking price, feel like the most they could go on an AAV would be 6m and that would be pushing it. He'd want a max term which as a 32 year old isn't going to work and I know Drury is apparently more concerned with term than anything else this offseason, it's why the Rangers aren't in on Copp anymore.
