when Kadri starts playing with some of the quality prospects coming up - he will get 55-60.
- Lucas.Neilson

maybe, maybe not. better linemates doesn't guarantee more points.

sup bruce

yeah
I really like what Soshnikov brings to the table!
- Lucas.Neilson

its a really nicely balanced line... hopefully they can stay injury free next year (if they are put back together)

WTF is Kadri there for, support ??

diving and swimming

keep in mind there will also be another line that's ahead of them...unlike this season.

Or maybe 2.

I was going to say that, but didn't want to sound like I was making a QoC excuse for the guy this year

It's true though, when other teams have to worry about containing another scoring line, it'll open up a lot of room

No he will just refer to playing for a discount, the way Bautista did.

As if neither of them, or their agents understood at all what the pros and cons were to the deals they signed.
- Aetherial

well I assure you it will be a lot more than 5.5, which will make that Kadri deal look even better - even though I don't exactly put kadri near at par with Tavares, but he is surely still a valuable player.

Mastered that, hasn't he..

Tavares at 5.5 is a "steal." Kadri at 4.5 is a solid deal.
- AdamFrench

its a steal

Tavares will get 10 million for the last 4 years of Kadris deal once he is a UFA
so basically 8.5 aav over the same time as Kadris contract

Just an impostor.

D'oh.

should've known by the description but after 10 beers you brain doesn't work the way you want it to.

kadri has always been primarily a setup guy... has been since junior... in order for him to be effective he needs shooters

and i would not call grabner or komarov effective shooters

Wang won't give Tavares 10M+ per year
- Symba007

I guess we better pass on stammer then

Well then he's (frank)ed.

maybe, maybe not. better linemates doesn't guarantee more points.
- daeth

true, but I think a team not in 30th, and in say....10th he would have a better chance at more points...as long as he sticks top 6 that entire time with the likes of Matthews, JVR, Nylander, Marner + Stammer or whoever else is in there.

When Tavares signed his last contract, he just had a 81pts season, Kadri had 45 this past season.

when tavares signed it was less ridiculous since the cap was way lower. cant really compare new contracts to old ones.
- daeth

2012-2013 $70.2m
2014-2015 $69.0m

Well then he's (frank)ed.

i am 100% happy they have locked him up long term... he is just reaching the age where he is getting into his prime...nowhere to go but up for this kid

he grew up a habs fan, he learned from the best

He must have been an Alex Burrows fan

2012-2013 $70.2m
