Rumor: Sportsnet's John Shannon is saying Kadri deal to the Isles is getting finalized and should be done by this week

[denis5]

I think he has multiple contracts fir each player. Fir 1 yr and fir multiple years. They might not be technically signed yet so there is no violation of the rules.

I think that's exactly what's going on. Not so much with Kadri, as he's a UFA, but with the team's own RFAs, nothing is actually signed. Instead, there's one set of longer term agreements for more money if he can move a player, a second set of short term deals at lower AAVs if he has to kick the can down the road and only can open up money by sending a contract or two to the AHL. Islanders can open up as much as 2.25M more cap space by running with a 21-man roster and shuttling players up and down from Bridgeport. If along the way, someone wants to help us out by claiming, say, a Josh Bailey, that's all well and good.

Could the long, never ending Kadri UFA and Deshaun Watson suspension sagas really end on the same day?

Is this guy a legitimate source?

It's a she and yes, she was the first who reported Matheson was in the Petry trade. She writes articles (mostly built around analytics) for The Athletic and Sportsnet.

I don't know that a cousin profile pic says much. I don't know which one it is, but I worked with a cousin of his in Calgary years ago. I'd imagine good chance they are a Flames fan anyway.

Kadri would be an upgrade on Monahan

God I hope it comes out that Lou’s slow playing of everything opened the door for another team to swoop in and steal him away.

Lou on twitter? Surely you jest.

Shannon is another hack.

 

[The Nightman]

can we ban Pagnotta tweets on HF now? Doesn’t get more fraud than him

Nailed it Shannon!

Completely wrong team but you know, semantics
