Save your novel for another time. Kadri is the next Leafs cancer. He can't be gone soon enough.
I don't know about him becoming a cancer but I think anyone 25 or older that is looking for long term commitment at major dollars should be moved because TO probably will not be in a position to use them properly in the pursuit of the cup, for instance. If TO is going to commit to a rebuild I would think that 5 years before respectability is not out of line, Kadri will be 25 next year, JVR 26, Gardiner 25 then moving players like these makes sense to me because they may have decent value as trade chips. Kadri, JVR, Gardiner represent TO's short term future but say 1sts or prospects would represent TO's long term future, rebuilds are predicated on long term success rather than short term.
Those 3 players and many others on TO do not impress me as players that I feel will be the proper types of players to lead TO into the future, actually I don't see any Leafs being proper role models for the team that TO should aspire to be in the future.
Hockey is a chemistry experiment, TO's experiment is doomed, a full cleansing is necessary, immediately. I'm looking for a bright future and I don't see much good resulting from any of the present Leafs being present in the near future.
