If the Canadiens were to move say, Travis Moen, they would be able to give Kadri a $5M per year contract, which would cost them just a 1st and 3rd round pick in the 2014 NHL draft, which considering the addition of Kadri to an already strong roster, would be very low value picks in a thought to be weak draft.

It would be G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S.

I hope not

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Wouldn't TO immediately match 5m?

 

[Mrb1p]

This would be good. I hate Kadri, but I think he's good.

 

[Coldplay]

I'd do it for a 1st and 3rd and Travis Moen.

 

[yakfish]

LOL! You wish!!!

 

[overlords]

Would go against the whole bridge deal philosophy

 

[poetryinmotion]

we could but we don't want to

 

[hardcorehabs]

They will retaliate with one of our young studs

 

[Bourdon101]

Then we will have Kadri, Briere, Plekanec, Galchenyuk, Desharnais and Eller fighting for the top 2 center spots.

I agree. I would have to say no also because I really do not know if he is that good. Sure he played good last year for 48 games, but he really is only a 1 dimensional offensive player so far in his young career. Will he be a 70-80 point man every year???

No, we don't

Or ever?

 

[CaptainBenn]

I would love it. Love the kid.

I don't want any player who would sign with the Lafes

 

[MXD]

I don't hate Kadri per se, but.... why?

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Would go against the whole bridge deal philosophy

Character issues abound.

They will retaliate with one of our young studs

The whole point of cap management is to prevent them from doing so. If we manage our cap and RFA situations properly they just cannot retaliate.

I would absolutely do it without question if it wasn't for my own valuation of Kadri. I just don't rate him that highly, I dunno, might be because he's a Leaf.

 

[Dada]

Me likeeee

Kadri can play wing. DD and Briere can play in traffic. Leaving Eller, Pleks and Galchenyuk.

While you're right that he only broke out for 48 games, I wouldn't say he's one-dimensional - he's a physical player at the least.

Players go for the $$$.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Players go for the $$$.

I never said my opinions were rationale


Players drafted by TO don't count. It's a sad, but understandable deformation.

But one of our rookies who sign with The Hated Ones? the only thing worst would be if they signed an offer sheet by Boston

Pass and won't happen.

 

[JPGoHabsGo]

Hab fan or not I dont like the guy.

 

[Price My Man Crush]

A young stud like Komisarek? No problem.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Again, I'd like to ask: wouldn't TO match 5m?
