Pretty sure that's Kadri's first physical play in the last 20 games.

I'm kind of struggling to think of another hit all season.

That just hasn't been his game under Bednar and it's even less so this year. I liked early last year how he would see a breakdown defensively and hustle to make a big hit and eliminate the man and a scoring chance, but that's slowly been eliminated from his game here.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Selfishly I wish we'd see the Avs play more physical but it's hard to argue with the success Bednar gets.

I wouldn’t get too hyped up about Kadri being exiled, even after this. I think he’ll be back next year. The year after that, probably not.

Unless they actually flip Naz for another center I just don’t see it happening.

They could flip Kadri for futures and sign Danault.

I'm all for exposing Kadri to Seattle now.

Exposing Kadri would be poor asset management. Top 6 C's (even those that don't fit the Avs system that well) are much more valuable than 3rd line wingers and 3rd pairing Dmen.

Would love to trade for Reinhart, he would be a perfect fit. Trade Kadri to recoup some assets.

Reinhart either becomes a permanent fixture as our #2C and Newhook transitions as a winger, or if Newhook flawlessly transitions into our #2C Reinhart is still a great winger.

What do you think it would take to land Reinhart? I could see Sakic kicking tyres on him, and Buffalo might get the best possible value by trading him to a team like Colorado where he'd presumably be open to a long-term extension.

Well considering Nugent-Hopkins isn't a centre anymore, by default the answer would be Danault.

Yep, Danault would be the perfect solution.

What do you envisage he gets in UFA?

More than two years.

He doesn’t want to be a 3C so I’m sure Newhook would deter him from signing here.

As for Reinhardt, Adam’s should target Benning. Bad GM, local Vancouver boy, opportunity to get a high pick with the Canucks issues and has the ability to sell some cap space to get rid of some of those awful bottom 6 contracts.

Trade Kadri to Pittsburgh. A low grade psychotic like Hextal will see a kindred spirit and Burke will love the ego service of one of his old guys the plays long pants hockey.

I was told we're bringing Matthew back to replace Kadri? Sign me up.
 
How does Danault skate
I thought he was on the slower side would he be a good fit here

It would cost a pretty penny. I don't know if it would get it done, but I'd guess something along the lines of Helleson + Kaut/1st + 3rd would be the base. After that, it would depend if Buffalo sees any value in Francouz or Compher. If Sakic really likes Reinhart, maybe swap Barron or Timmins for Helleson.

Seattle won't have many top 6 C's to choose from in expansion so perhaps Sakic could explore trading Kadri to them in exchange for futures/assets that can then be flipped to Buffalo for Reinhart. Something like Kaut + 2021 COL 1st + "Kadri return" should get pretty close in theory.
 
Swap Kadri for Monahan 2M retained? Give 'em a sweetener for the extra year.

Flames are going to make some big changes..I could see them being interested in an Eichel + Kadri combo at center next year.

Kadri already blocked a trade to Calgary once, and that was when they were a playoff team. Doubt he has much interest in going there now that theyre not even a playoff team.

We arent the team that signed the NMC and it was before the rule change that it would carry over to the new team.

Alright Karens, a physical player gave out a nasty hit in a playoff series.

Settle down with the dramatic reactions.

I think the outrage is more that Kadri has been looking apathetic and has been floating around aimlessly for the past couple of months, and the first real physical play he made could have significantly impacted the game in a negative way for the Avs. One of those "I was already disappointed in you, and then you did worse" situations.

Kadri was ‘very close’ to accepting off-season trade to Flames | Calgary Sun

Exerpt:
The 28-year-old centre squashed a summer swap to Calgary — one of the no-go destinations on his partial no-trade clause — but admitted prior to his regular-season debut with the Colorado Avalanche that he seriously considered green-lighting the move.

“Yeah, I did, I came very close,” Kadri said before facing the Flames in the Mile High City. “I just didn’t really get the impression that I was being shopped around (by the Maple Leafs) and my initial feeling was to stay in Toronto, and that’s kind of why that whole situation panned out the way it did. It was nothing against Calgary. I obviously love that city and I love going there as a visiting team, but I just had aspirations of staying put.
“That’s the truth. It’s genuine. It was nothing against the organization. That all being said, I still almost came to the decision of actually going there, so it was tempting.”

It doesn't seem like a resounding no.

Let's just time travel back to the 2015 draft and let Sakic know that he should just draft Rantanen, Aho, Cirelli and Kaprizov in rounds 1-4. Problems solved.

Pfft, Sakic should've known 2015 was the best draft since 2003. Should've traded the entire team outside of Landy + Mack to stock up on picks.

Legit though, Avs were in spots to select all those players, but instead we walked away from the draft with just Rantanen. Really wish this team was better at drafting, would have solved a lot of the depth issues.
