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

[BB88]

Would not be surpriced if Kadri will sign to Detroit.

Most improved team at this offseason and could improve even more.

They have the cap space other teams are not having.

They aren’t even the most improved in their division.

They rank like the 6th in Atlantic

What's the Red Wings future out look on cap space? Who do you forsee requiring big raises in the next two years?

...ummm, did you quote the wrong poster??...cuz my post had absolutely nothing to do with the Cap...

Why should I name 4 other teams that got better more than Detroit?

I said Ottawa had a better offseason( or has had) than Detroit, so disagree with the most improved comment.
I also said they rank 6th in the Atlantic at best right now and Kadri is looking to go to a contender.

Tampa
Florida
Toronto
Boston
Ottawa
Detroit/ Buffalo

Kadri isn’t seeing the playoffs if he goes to Detroit

Not other poster but I thought you meant you ranked them 6th most improved in the atlantic, with 1/5 ahead of them being Ottawa

”They aren’t even the most improved in their division.

That post doesn’t say 5 teams improved more, that says they rank like the 6th in the Atlantic after saying on another sentence they aren’t even the most improved in their division to a comment saying they are the most improved team.

& you know for some english is their 3rd language.

Don’t get mad at me for Detroit having a 10 year rebuild, that’s not on me

Or maybe you have incoherent thoughts and sentence structure…

What's the Red Wings future out look on cap space? Who do you forsee requiring big raises in the next two years?

I’m not a red wings fan.

i don’t expect much from thrm. They signed some more known players on the team but there is a lot of uncertainty with the players.

they also have 2 nbig UFAs next summer in bertuzzi and Larkin to resign.

the team has 13 players who will be UFAs in 23 or 24. You are going to have a lot of change over.

ottawa septillion has an older defense with 4 becoming UFAs the next 2 yrs. I don’t think Debrincat will be that dominating/ star as they might have hoped.

buffalo on the other hand has most of its roster returning. They will have 3 top 30 non nhl prospects playing with the club in 22/23 and the only major changes were adding a RD and goalie to the roster who did not play at least 1 game fir buffalo ladt season. Don’t be surprised if buffalo is better than either of those teams.

 

[lanceuppercut75]

I'll throw in a darkhorse team here : Buffalo. They have the cap space (19M right now), they have a young team that could do some damage and he would still be close to home (London, ONT).

They would probably look to move Mittelstadt out for a Dman (moving Bryson down to #7D) or a pick/prospect... or a 1 year bad contract dump + even nicer pick/prospect. Having Mittelstad as a 4th liner going forward doesn't make a lot of sense IMO.

Thompson, Kadri and Cozens is a really solid core of centers. Probably costs too much on the cap, but I suppose one of them could be moved out when Power needs his $$$.

 

[Frobbo]

People always say that certain player is not good in the playoffs. There is some arguments that some people can't take the pressure and they turn invincible in the playoffs and show only shadow of their true abilities. But like Tkachuk. He is young and pretty new to playoffs. Not even in his prime. We really don't even know yet what kind of performer Tkachuk will be. So i think this bad in the playoffs argument is just lazy.

Ok if I am workmanlike and call him "great in the playoffs". Citing his actual performance to date in the PO's isn't lazy. I think its lazy to call that lazy FWIW

I just never said 5 teams improved more than Detroit.

But I guess cool

The other teams don't have to improve to be better than the Red Wings. The Red Wings were terrible.

Kadri cup winning days are over if he goes to Detroit. Detroit is going in the right direction but did you see how long of a road it took Colorado to win a cup. mackinnon was drafted 9 yrs ago and landeskog 11 yrs ago. And on top, they had to absolutely fleece in getting byram, Toews, kadri, have busts burakovsky and nichushkin have career years, and a generational d man fall to them to 4 after losing the draft lottery. It’s a damn long process to be a cup champion. Even Tampa had there battle scars with elite talent until they prevailed. I think Detroit will get there, but they are likely 5 plus yrs away and kadri signing there just won’t see the next Detroit glory days.

How could the poster have worded those two clauses differently to be more clear and remain succinct? It’s very possible to make a structurally correct statement that is still misinterpreted. That’s not incoherent or incorrect, it’s just ambiguous.

Burakovsky is a bust? He was drafted 23rd overall and has paced over 60 points for 3 consecutive seasons. If he was like a 7th overall pick I don’t even think you could consider him a bust. What a strange take.

I agree. Bura is not a bust. He’s also not the game changing dynamic forward Seattle super fan ButtKrack thinks he is either. He’s a serviceable 2nd line winger with an elite shot. He’s streaky and that’s why he is a 2nd liner not a first.

He was a bust with Washington.

 

[jimmysheva]

Well, someone has to win each year.

 

[WayneGretzky]

He was a bust with Washington.

Didn’t he win a cup with the Caps? And another with the Aves?

 

[Ace]

He won enough for LA to put up a statue

 

[crowi]

He was a bust for Caps. Just because he got a Cup with them doesn't mean he was great,

 

[Foppberg]

He was a bust with Washington.

Chara was a bust with the Islanders.

Spoiler alert: some young players keep progressing and actually get better.
