Assuming that this Kadri interest is real and NYR are planning on making a run at him, I assume the corresponding move is moving Fil out for futures? If you're giving Kardi 8, assuming the Nemeth buyout happens, that leaves what? Like 1.5 in space?

Here's the quote:

What's your sense telling you about Nazem Kadri?

"Massive money. I think for sure it's an AAV that starts with an 8. Curious about the term because he is a little bit older. He's almost for sure not going back to Colorado. I've just heard repeatedly that one team has set Nazem Kadri above and beyond on their list is the New York Rangers."

Goes on to say it's not "cooked" meaning tampered and done.


I wouldn't if I were them.

His contract being backloaded certainly makes it a more difficult trade to consummate. It's just frustrating that we're likely going to have another million less to play with.
 
I like Trochek quite a bit stylistically. He plays a similar PIA high motor style to Kadri, just without his close to MVP-caliber season from last year. Points-wise they have been similar minus the outlier from Kadri this season.

In an ideal world, Pittsburgh re-signs Malkin for 4 years, taking them out of the running for Trochek, and then Drury swoops in with a 6 year deal for $5.25 for Trochek.

Kadri would be basically the perfect fit at 2C. If it weren't for the salary cap maybe it'd be possible but legitimately the only way you're fitting him onto the roster is if you're trading a core piece. They're obviously not trading Shesty, Fox or Mika, so look to the other players with moderately high cap hits: are they really trading Kreider, Trouba, Panarin, Goodrow, Lindgren just to brnig in Kadri? I don't see it.

There’s no way anyone pays kadri first line center money. He is not that. No one is going to do it. I think he’ll get 7 a year 4 or 5 years but no one is giving him 8 plus

I don't know about that. Nichushkin just got 6.125 for 8 freaking years. I think he gets 8 mil for at least 5 years.

The Rangers need to make a hard decision or 2 as early as next season regardless. Adding Kadri (or Miller or Dubios) instantly puts the Rangers with Toronto Tampa Bay & Colorado as a true Cup Contender. Theres merit to making a bold swing

None of those players are movable due to clauses except Lindgren, and he would be the last player I would trade from that list so...
 
Trocheck vs Stastny at this point.

In some way we could theoretically sign both... to really solidify the middle6 Center issue.

Question - Now that we know we're not signing Copp & Strome (at least before they hit UFA) isn't there anyway to get like 5th or 6th or something today for their rights?

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. With the commitments we have and the salary cap being what it is, I don't see how Kadri fits in unless he'd take a <6m cap hit somehow, which doesn't seem realistic at all - he'll get more than that.

The problem of NYR has always been that they are too liberal with giving out NMC:s and NTC:s. It really would be nice if we could send Trouba, Kreider or Goodrow away when they stop living up to their contracts. One could argue that's the case for Trouba and Goodrow already. Prevents us from adressing our #2C issue now, and will cause problems down the road if/when Laf, Miller, Chytil, Kakko and who else breaks out and wants to get paid.

That's what Seravalli said today on Toronto radio. Now I don't think Seravalli is all that good in his speculation but whatever, I doubt he's wrong in saying we are one of the teams on him.

And no idea how we could get this done. Like I said, for next season it's doable. After that, some pieces need to go overboard. Not just Kakko either...

Who did Seravalli say they are in on? Malkin, Trochek or Miller?
 
i dont want to get everyone here worked up but i think that all this talk about drury wanting to avoid term is directly related to the brewing situation in toronto.

matthews has 2 years left on his deal, and in the last year has a nmc like zib did. the leafs are going to have to give him a blank check for an extension (which they may not even be able to afford) or they are going to have to trade him next summer. there is no way they can allow him to walk as a ufa in two years. that team just took a goalie from the sens that ottawa PAID the leafs to take from them. that was their answer again for the net. they still have massive issues on the defense. i think this coming season/playoff will dictate what happens with matthews long term and even if they get to the second round i am still very skeptical he will resign there for a variety of reasons. i know everyone points to arizona and his coming home story, but i absolutely think drury has his eye on that entire situation and he wants to be able to make an offer IF the opportunity presents itself.

i could absolutely see dubas being allowed to stay past next summer even if the leafs have issues so that IF they attempt to resign matthews and he pulls a taveras on them and walks as a ufa the leafs org can then fire dubas and blame the entire loss of matthews on him. i truly believe dubas is only there at this point to be the fall guy if this happens bc they have already handed him the keys for years and they can see he is like themla and lousie driving towards the cliff. if matthews walks/leaves then that is over the cliff. if they trade him after his nmc kicks in they wont get an appropriate return bc he can pick his home to resign at, so the trade will be a debacle. the whole situation brewing in toronto has the potential to become a real story over the next 12-24 months and i think drury wants to avoid term so he can he available if the opportunity is there...

kadri is 32, you think he is getting 8mil for playing till 37 in this market?

nuke is 27 years old, he contract takes him to 35 and the aav there is lower based on the length. that nuke contract points even moreso to this kadri at 8+ nonsense as his agent driving the bus prior to ufa status. that is how you drum up an auction. i pray kadri goes to the caps.
