He made a mistake. A horrible, horrible mistake and one that I'm sure he probably wishes he had never made. I will never defend the action.

But let's be reasonable here: people can change. The Kobe Bryant post-incident was not the same Kobe pre-incident. He became a very dedicated father and wanted nothing more than to be involved in his daughter's lives post-basketball.

You and I probably won't agree on him, but Kobe is my guy. I believe in second chances and IMO Kobe made the most of his second chance.

He parlayed his "mistake" into a marketing opportunity. Even before the incident in question I didn't like the guy. And he never suffered any discernible consequences for it either. If anything, he earned even more blind adulation.

Anyway, I don't wish to pollute these forums with my usual spiels. You're right, we're not going to come to a consensus here, but I appreciate the civil discussion.
 
That's f***ed up to compare what he did to what Mailloux did.

 
And it's easy to forget Kadri is still enemy of the league, imagine if he gets banned for twenty games? Tough pill to swallow when is one of the biggest earners.
 
Kadri's earned the payday he's going to get. I wish we could give him a great contract that would keep him, but he's earned this right to set his family up for generations possibly.

That being said, I do not believe he takes the biggest paycheck out there. I really think the ability of the team to he signs with to compete will be taken into consideration closely as well.

Nah. He'll sign in Calgary.

I´m happy for Kadri, but his contract, whoever gets him, will be one of the worst down the road. Beside everything he gave us last season, but Kadri is still no 8+ Mill player, imho

I mean he’s what? 31 or 32 years old. This will be the last major contract of his career. His best season of his career will most likely be this Avs cup year. He will definitely get overpaid but he won’t be the first guy in the NHL that’s ever gotten overpaid for something they did in their past (and not present). He played through a broken thumb to help this team win a cup. I’m good with him fleecing some other team, getting some dough for his family, and riding off into the sunset.

All true. And i´m happy he gets his money.

The contract will still be one of the worst handed out today.
