Leafs have absolutely no reason to trade Kadri with his sweet contract and Habs wouldnt be willing to pay the price.
Proposal: LEAFS-HABS
- Thread starter Grandrift145
- Start date
Please lock this up.
Kadri is a 60 Point 2x30 goal 2C who is decent on the dot and draws penalties. Oh ya did I mention he is making 4.5 Million Per? The only way we trade him is if we could get a 1 RHD and yes we would likely add. Second, if we trade him we basically become the Habs regarding our CTR depth. No thanks. As is we are still trying to figure out who is going to be our 3C and 4C. Subtracting Kadri makes no sense let alone for Petry. Petry is a decent 3/4 but he is nothing to write home about and not somebody I'm willing to trade a core piece for.

Did I post in the wrong thread? I thought I quoted you saying Kadri isn't worth 3OA? If not, my apologies.
If that is what you said, seems straightforward?
I don't get it....
1. Mathews
2. Marner/Nylander/Kadri
3. Marner/Nylander/Kadri
4. Some stiff
What's wrong with that center line-up? There are some issues, but raw talent isn't one of them
Is there some concern that Mathews doesn't play like a #1 center, or a center at all and is more like a really talented winger who lines up in the middle? (Like Matt Duchane) I can see that being a concern, it was something I noticed about Mathews game that I really didn't care for. I would almost say Marner and Kadri are better pure centers, if not hockey players, then Mathews

You really didn't follow that?
Possibly playing dumb to play down Kadri's value?
Anyway, with the lack of C I'm assuming you'll take bpa at 3? That's a winger...

If we trade Kadri our C depth looks like this:
Mathews
???????
???????
???????
And while Nylander has played C he hasn't been very effective in the NHL. As a 3C it might help getting his footing and give him some time but again we would have to trade or sign a 2C to replace Kadri and his very low cap hit. No Thanks. Rather just roll with what we have or add.

My only other criticism is using Kadri to acquire picks (35th and 38th).
Is this a HFBoards thing where drafting is more important than winning?
Is TOR really in the mode of hoarding as many draft picks as humanly possible? I hope not. I don't see drafting as bad, but not at every cost.
I am hoping one of these days TOR uses their 1st to improve the defense.

Lol....why would the leafs want to HELP us out by fixing our glaring issue that has plagued us for decades?
they would never throw us a life vest like this, they would throw us an anchor
also, the leafs need a TOP pairing dman.....Petry is a 4-6 guy

Leafs need to add to a solid core that includes Kadri, not minus Kadri. Petry is a solid # 3 at best. He wouldn't turn the Leafs into a cup contender.
I sometimes dream of a day where sansabri reads a trade proposal between MTL and TOR and is willing to admit it favors MTL. I've yet to see that happen, but when it does it's gonna blow everyone's mind on here.....
That's my point. It's a common theme with you. When the majority of Habs fans responding here think this one favors MTL that should tell you something.
If I thought you could be convinced by reasoning or facts or statistical evidence then I would take the time to try and provide and argument for you. But that's clearly not the case with you. If a proposal involves both Toronto and Montreal, your opinion is set in stone on every single thread. I sometimes wonder if you even read through the entire proposal before stating how bad it is for MTL.

No. He's just not worth a top 4 dman + two early 2nds. Those two early 2nds hold a lot of value as there isn't all that much difference in the talent pool between the 15th and 40th spots.
It's arguably a winger as in a number of ratings Zadina is now listed as low as 5th. So time will tell but Kadri is still not worth a 3rd overall pick.
So a different winger? There are no projected 1Cs there...
If you don't think his age fits the rebuild (you might want?) I understand.
But a 30g/tough defensive minutes/pest centre signed for 4.5M per year is absolutely worth those W prospects.
You keep trying to pretend he's a 3C. Please tell me who some of these guys are?
Actually a couple of the dmen have seen their stock jump.
When did I say he was only a 3rd line center? I said he was excellent on the 3rd line and very good on the 2nd but is not a 1st line center which is the only scenario I'd want to trade the 3rd overall in a trade.
I guess the difference is I think he's a low-end 1C, or excellent 2C. I suspect numbers back that up.
Fair enough if there's a dman you've got your eye on
