or you know.. he's 22

we're pretty much all wieners at that age

i was.. still havent grown out of that yet either

It's not a case of being a weiner. A lot of these kids have been told how awsome they are from the age of 10.

It drives me crazy.

I mean, what's wrong with making only a million and a half bucks a year in your early 20s? He'll get plenty of opportunity to earn that mega-deal one day.

Kadri needs to wake up and realize that the caps going up and he will get more money after a bridge deal then he will now signing long term, unless he poops the bed the next 2 years

Definitely think that Franson should get the bulk of the remaining cap room.

Kadri's attitude after just one season really makes me wonder if we're hitting another speed-bump in his maturing.

Is this the sign of a serious character flaw

- AngryWhiteMale


Well he is our best center, why would he not think that

Yes...I'm sure his agent has nothing to do with this at all.

I agree that someone in their young twenties making that kinda dough should not be whining. But his agent's job is to secure as much as possible for as long as possible, and if you were in his shoes (even at that age) you would expect nothing less than market value.

the issue is determining what market value is. Is it for a centre producing at nearly a 1.0 ppg pace? or something else?

How about 0.63, which is closer to half a point per game?

last season, (the one his agent will be concentrating on) was 44pts in 48gms
or 0.92.

Unfortunately for Kadri and his agent, "his body of work" like Poulin said, doesn't consist in only half the games he played at the NHL level.

this is why I said the hard part is determining his market value...his agent can say that he matured as a player, and made the requested changes to his game...and last season was the result, and that is what you should expect going forward...

whether or not that is the case is where the debate is.
