News Article: Could the Habs offersheet Kadri?

[MasterDecoy]

no point. that said, love him. he's gonna be a pain in our collective ***** for a long time

 

[kingdok]

I'd love Kadri in Montreal but Toronto would match, then eventually retaliate.

 

[WestIslander]

To Toronto:

Lars Eller + Nathan Beaulieu

To Montreal:

Nazem Kadri

Fair for both teams!

Plus the " we need more size" crew would hang Bergeron for that.

Meanwhile, the rest of the cast of Anti-chambre is wondering what Michel did to deserve such a fate.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I'd offer sheet him. And hopefully they would match and be in cap hell for years. With the contract they just gave to Clarkson, they would be in deep trouble for a long time.

But it won't happen, that doesn't seem like the kind of things Bergevin wants to do.

He knows what he did.

I hope you guys actually offersheet Nazem Kadri. Guy's a useless plug and just was a benefactor of a shortened season.Sarcasm.

Note: I actually want you guys to offersheet him so Leafs can offersheet Subban after next season.

Then I hope your GM feels the same way if the Habs sign him to an offer sheet that's just high enough to mess with the Leafs cap.

Seriously though, I don't think it's going to happen because of the bridge contract philosophy MB's enforced. Then again, if MB feels that the Habs are better team with Kadri in it, then he'd probably pull the trigger, so who knows?

EDIT: Didn't see that white text dammit!

 

[MXD]

Let's see things this way :

3 kinds of offers could be made to Kadri :

- The low (or reasonable) one he'll refuse
- The reasonable one he'll accept with Leafs matching
- The unreasonable one he'll accept with the Leafs not matching


Anything over 4.5 will put US in caphell at some point.

And the idea of trading Eller and Beaulieu... WTF!!!!!

 

[Analyzer*]

This is a bad idea and you should feel bad.

 

[onebighockeyfan]

No way. Kadri had 2/3 of a good season, a shortened one at that. Where was he the last 15 games and during the playoffs? He certainly was not a PPG guy. Too inconsistent.

 

[Shaby23]

Yesssssss pleaseeeee

 

[Dagistitsyn]

I remember not too long ago some people thought we could trade Leblanc for Kadri straight up, now we wanna sign him to a 5 million dollar offersheet. Crazy how quickly things change with prospects.

I like Kadri, but I hate offer sheets. It would be a little hard to make room for Kadri right now. Who gets moved to give Kadri top 6 center spot?

What if Toronto already tried to offer sheet Subban? Would it make offer sheeting Kadri okay then?

Logical moves would be eller - only one due for a raise.

Are you serious??

 

[HCH]

I don't know what giving Kadri an offer sheet would accomplish other than compromising the current salary structure and aggravating an opponent.

 

[HCH]

Logical moves would be eller - only one due for a raise.

Actually Eller would be the worst one to move. He is the only physical center we have right now. The most logical would be Desharnais but then adding Kadri has the potential to block Galchenyuk's path for an even longer period of time.

Upgrades are nice but let's upgrade those positions where we need help and lack depth... like right wing.

 

[Locks]

When is this offersheet nonsense going to end? I understand it is a slow season and people need something to talk about but it has to make some sense. Offersheets are bad for the game as they lead to escalation of salaries and the NHL is not in great financial shape, a few clubs aside. And when was the last time the habs did sign someone to an offersheet? I can't even remember that! And this GM, who has clearly shown his vision by shying away from big, long term contracts, is even less likely to offersheet anyone, particularly a player who does not really fill a need and would be seriously overpaid.

 

[PKarey Plekoretty]

There is no way MB would offer sheet a guy who is currently in a stand off over a bridge contract with his team, months after he signed PK to a bridge contract

Nazem Kadri

No way!

I would keep the 6'2" 220lbs guy who can skate, play defense AND (I am certain) will become quite good offensively. Oh, and he's also not a punk who likes to throw his weight (literally throwing it) around solely at unsuspecting players smaller than himself.

Not to mention that Beaulieu can legitimately be argued to be the Habs' #1 prospect at the moment.

Aaand Kadri hasn't ever played in a non-sheltered capacity aaaand hasn't yet played one full 82 game season on a Leafs team that wasn't shooting at 11.5%.
