I guess they are trading Fox because he's the only big contract without a full no movement clause.
Because Drury doesn't want to trade his third pairing RD lol.Not sure why Drury would prioritize Kadri at 32 yrs old at 8mil AAV
over
JT Miller, 29 yrs old at 5.2 AAV
then extended
JT Miller 30 yrs old 8mil AAV for x amount of years, similar to Kadri but 2 years younger.
I mean, I get it, you can say to your fans you got a guy without giving anything up, but at the same time all the Rangers fans trying to poopoo what Miller will be at the end of this contract must have a giant lump in their throats at the sight of this.Not sure why Drury would prioritize Kadri at 32 yrs old at 8mil AAV

8M is fine, but only if you keep it short term
Not saying this is actually plausible, but: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.
Kadri's agent really hustling here. Drury doesn't leak.
Apparently this logic only applies to Avs UFAs that aren't being re-signed.Good luck! Contract year on a really hungry cup team, so no way he hits those numbers again.
