Friedman: "There's going to be a team that comes out of there that we're not seeing right now that is going to be in on Kadri. Washington".

What?

 

[Weast]

If Backstrom is done, then that gives the Caps a lot of money to throw at Kadri

 

[Alluckks]

Would that put Washington in a weird spot financially if Backstrom was able to play to collect his checks?

 

[Coachcorner]

Kyprios, Nick told that boston and seattle are willing to pay kadri 10million for 7 years. Just read in the internet.

 

[Quinton Byfield]

A bit old news, so this comes across as a wet, soggy dishrag rather than a hot take.

 

[Chips]

What’s the typical time frame for the thing Backstrom had done? They make is sound like it could end him.. if he were to come back could it conceivably (ie without conspiracy) have him back after the playoffs start? I assume? I mean, go for it

 

[Ace]

How can we not see it when you told us who it was?

I’m going to have a surprise dinner tomorrow. Lasagna

 

[kilowatt]

Could also be worded as: "Washington is interested in Kadri."

Would save a lot of confusion.

Abraham Lincoln once said you cant believe everything you read on the internet

I don’t think this can possibly be a shocker to anyone at this point. The only thing left at this juncture is to see if Backstrom “actually and factually” retires. I hope for the best but his convalescence is going to take, at a minimum, the 2022-2023 season. Kadri, JT Miller, the Caps are interested in any serviceable 1a/b center that’s relatively young and established. It’s not rocket science. Oh and they’ll have a truckload of money to pay them too. It’ll either go great or horrible, I’m kinda afraid to watch.

Well, Nick Kypreos said it. So it doesn't not only read in the internet. He said it and works in high places. Lets see who gets Kadri.
There's the link sire: INSIDER: 2 teams willing to pay Nazem Kadri $10M+ in Free Agency

 

[AirGut]

I guess we just magically just didn't hear about Washington and Kadri already this past week huh?

Honestly, kind of never. It's been a career killer for the most part. Jovanaski had it done, managed like 35 games afterward and that was kind of considered a success I think

 

[Thechozen1]

Ovi - Kadri - Wilson

The wrecking ball line

 

[PostBradMalone]

Yeah I suppose it makes sense if they are absolutely certain Backstrom won't return. Kuzy-Kadri-Eller is a strong center group for sure.

Ovi - Kadri - Wilson

The wrecking ball line

That would be fun, and it frees Kuznetsov up to drive his own line with Mantha and Oshie.

 

[Avaholic29]

If Kadri gets 10m I can’t help but be happy for him, that would be a painfully bad move by whatever GM that is though.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

My darkhorse is Nashville. Fits their MO of being frustrating to play against and would allow them to shift Granlund to the wing. Plus they still have a lot of cap space.

 

[Weltschmerz]

So he can‘t see it right now but it smells like the caps.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Caps window has closed this could end up being a very bad contract if indeed they go after him

Caps need to help Putin's BFF break some records.

 

[AZ Caps Fan]

What did. To do. I don't it.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Kadri will get one of the worst contracts in the league. Anyone with a brain will stay away.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

To put it lightly - Kesler got it done and never played again and Sillinger literally got it done so he could live pain free in retirement.

Backstrom could come back but honestly at 34-35 he could collect insurance money for his contract and go live his life.
