Kadri

[Avs]

Now Kadri knows next time he’s mad, just kneel on a players head instead of trying to make a hit.

It’s 100x more intentional, but comes with a much less punishment.

 

[nammerus]

… what? I fail to see how this is on Sakic

He took a measured risk with a player with a long history of stupid behaviour (especially in the playoffs). And it failed.

Kadri was only available because of his warts. Sakic chose to go bargain hunting instead of definitively trying to fix one of the most important positions.

Yeah straight assault after the play is ok but hit in game situation is much worse like wtf really???

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Exactly. It was calculated risk and back fire.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Yeah after that news, we definitely need a new 2C. The suspension risk is just too much with Kadri and his play has taken a step back. He'll always be one hit away from crippling our center depth.

Maybe we can package him for a good 3C? Because I doubt we can get a 2C back for him.

Yup. 3 of 4 years now he has eliminated himself. I don't care if hes a bargain at 4.5. What good is that if he consistently removes himself from the playoffs and hurts his team who relies on him during crunch time? Time to move on and find another 2C. It was great Nazem I wont miss the toe drags.

Expose him and/or trade him. Go get Danault.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Just a little extra motivation for the boys to win at least one of the next two games.

I’m sorry, but that is a really ridiculous take.

 

[Belgican]

If the Avs get eliminated, Kadri is gone. He hung his team out to dry, AGAIN.

Can’t afford to take the risk again next year.

Exactly what I think

 

[nammerus]

Exactly what I think

Yup. Another year of JTC and Jost as the presumptive 2/3c.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I’m sorry, but that is a really ridiculous take.

I mean it's not that ridiculous. The only reason Toronto was willing to move their best valued contract was due to the fact that the guy is a complete liability in the playoffs. That's 3 of the last 4 playoffs he's screwed his team by getting suspended.

 

[the_fan]

Just win tonight and there is a good chance we see Kadri in game 7 because I don't think Avs can close it out in Vegas in game 6

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Kadri's suspension is still harsh imo but the problem is they can only appeal this one and not the previous two. The first one should've been like 1 game based on what others get for the same thing and the next one should've been 3 games (remembering these are playoff games). That meant the multiplier or whatever here wouldn't have been as big.

But because he was treated harshly on those suspensions, this one ends up not getting reduced when it realistically should've been and probably would've been 5 -6 games with another player.

 

[The Merchant]

What pisses me off the most other than DoPS' complete and utter ineptitude is the fact that Kadri had played soft ALL SEASON and when he finally decided it was time to play with an edge he takes some dude's head off in the playoffs. If there's a means to acquire another solid #2C this summer he needs to be f***ing gone.

Well, what would you have preferred?

 

[Drury_Sakic]

So trade Kadri to Buffalo. Win win. Kadri can have decent regular seasons and zero suspension risk.

 

[Belgican]

Yup. Another year of JTC and Jost as the presumptive 2/3c.

You say that

 

[Avsboy]

Next time? Next time Kadri looks at the ref sideways he'll be permanently sent to George Parros' hidden lair of misbehaving gimps

Yeah I think the Avs should think about sitting him if we go to a game 7

 

[Vk1ing]

Or change his last name to Wilson and he will just be fined for his boneless plays.

 

[duckbear]

Hate to say it, but the ruling almost convinces me we are going to lose in 6 to VGK. Hope to be wrong, but the series length matching the Kadri suspension to the T just feels like it fits.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

So trade Kadri to Buffalo. Win win. Kadri can have decent regular seasons and zero suspension risk.

He has a 10 team NTC. You can bet Buffalo, NY is at the top of that list.

Objectively false. You're rewriting history to fit your own narrative.

 

[Shane Diesel]

So trade Kadri to Buffalo. Win win. Kadri can have decent regular seasons and zero suspension risk.

Rolling with Compher, Jost and Newhook (11 combined NHL) surely will be a better option, right? They're all 30 goal scorers.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Objectively false. You're rewriting history to fit your own narrative.

I mean I don’t think Dubas would ever say the suspensions were the reason publicly. But they were the reason he was the most expendable piece to fill other holes.
